Thank you! Found the executable, and it suffers from the same problem as the old version: The controls drop-down menu (right of the URL bar) is non-persistent and can't be used. The new version does seem to run faster, which is a step forward. It's surprising that a simple find . -name stage didn't discover the directory, but did discover those for node, in the same subtree. The exact syntax you provided seems to be required. > Oh, alternatively you could of course simply make a backup of your > current chromium package: > > pkg create chromium > > Which you then can re-install in case the new version doesn't work as > expected: pkg add chromium-someversion.txz > The sources for the existing version of chromium are long overwritten, can a package be constructed from installed files? bob prohaska > Best, > Michael > > > > > Thanks for writing! > > > > bob prohaska > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On 13.
