wtf, this is getting out of hand? Why do I need gconf to use chromium? Isn't gconf deprecated? Why is this not mentioned in the changelog?
Security upgrades are great, enabling new crap under the radar like 'payment methods' is not cool.
Code: Select all
$ apt policy chromium
chromium:
Installed: 70.0.3538.67-1~deb9u1
Candidate: 70.0.3538.67-1~deb9u1
Version table:
*** 70.0.3538.67-1~deb9u1 500

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
63.0.3239.84-1~deb9u1 500
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
p.s. I caught the other thing too, you bastard.

I think FF (esr) is better supported in Debian though, it seems to receive updates quicker than the chromium package.
