It is built with SSE3 and AVX, so it won't launch on CPU's below 2nd gen Core or AMD FX, but benefits from Advanced Vector EXtensions. You can disable this and use regular SSE3 like Chromium and Chrome. (See below.)

### EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES/DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHROMIUM AND THORIUM

- 'args.list' contains an alphabetical list with descriptions of all possible build arguments.
- To build, run `autoninja -j8 -C out/thorium chrome chrome_sandbox content_shell -d stats` *The -j# can be changed to limit or increase the number of jobs (generally should be the number of CPU cores on your machine), and the -d stats at the end just shows better verbose stats during compiling. You could also append chromedriver (the releases have chromedriver) after content_shell to build chromedriver, the selenium compatible browser fuzzing library.*
- To install, copy/paste the contents of your *out/thorium* dir to a good location i.e. *$HOME/bin/thorium*. **RECOMMENDED - Copy and run clean.sh within this dir to clean up build artifacts**. Then you can just run the browser with `~/bin/thorium/chrome`, the content_shell with `~/bin/thorium/content_shell`, or chromedriver with `~/bin/thorium/chromedriver`.
- **Proper Install:** To install with a .deb, dont copy the contents of *out/thorium*, instead run <br/> `autoninja -C out/thorium/ "chrome/installer/linux:unstable_deb"` A nice .deb file will now be in *out/thorium* and you can install it with `sudo dpkg -i *.deb` It will be called 'thorium-browser-unstable_$VERSIONNUMBER_amd64.deb', and will be installed to */opt/chromium.org/chromium/*. \
&nbsp;&nbsp; NOTE: To get back to "Trunk", i.e. to revert all changes in order to build vanilla chromium, just run `trunk.sh` again. \
&nbsp;&nbsp; NOTE: To compile without AVX, simply go to *//chromium/src/build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn*, search for *mavx* (there's only two <br/> &nbsp;&nbsp; lines), and replace *mavx* with *msse3*.
