    IMPORTANT The main executable is now named thorium instead of chrome, and the main thorium shell executable is now named thorium_shell instead of content_shell. The Readmes and portable scripts and building instructions have been updated. You MUST do a sudo apt remove thorium-browser-unstable before upgrading, I.E. do NOT just install the new .deb in place over the old one.

    NEWS for Linux Users: Me and @midzer are preparing a new website for Thorium, > https://thorium.rocks/ to replace alex313031@blogspot.com.

    NEWS for Linux Users: Me and @midzer are preparing a new website for Thorium, > https://thorium.rocks/ to replace alex313031@blogspot.com. This website will also be a tentative new place for a debian repo that one could add to their /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for automatic upgrades, similar to the Google Chrome .deb. I was going to set up a PPA on Launchpad, but realized I would be space limited, would not be able to build locally, and would have to make separate releases for every ubuntu/debian version. Plus we just wanted a proper site for branding, promotion, and explanation, so we are working on this as of yesterday.

    Based on latest Chromium version 101.

    Includes new logo, as the Chromium and Chrome logo have been updated upstream.
    Includes some more new patches, from various sources and some written by me, see Readme.
    Also includes a new binary, called pak, which can be used to pak and unpack the .pak files used in Thorium or any other Chromium based browser.
    Usage: ./pak -u and ./pak -p, help via the normal ./pak -h
    Useful for just seeing what's inside them, and the assets Thorium uses to work, or also modifying them and adding your own pictures/assets for things in the UI.

    Also, thank you @raingart for making a runner script and .desktop file, which are both useful for installing Thorium on Arch linux with some better integration than the ones inside the portable .zip, which are written for generic linux usage. Note these could also be used on other linux distros, but please look inside them and compare with the default ones in the .zip, and modify as necessary for your needs.
    https://github.com/raingart/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/thorium-browser
    https://github.com/raingart/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/share/applications/thorium-browser.desktop
    AND, thank you @JPratama7 for a pkgbuild (which would need to be modified for the specific Thorium version you want) for making a package for Arch linux. Could also be modified to make an .ebuild for Gentoo.
