Created attachment 432868 [details, diff] Patch to fix the problem This is simple patch, which creates "chromium" flag and fixes the problem by symlinking /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts to /etc/chromium-messaging-hosts when enabled. It is that simple, because chromium just uses another search path for plugins.
Comment on attachment 432868 [details, diff] Patch to fix the problem there's no need for a USE flag, nor does RDEPEND-ing on a browser make sense. just always create the symlink in src_install.

I reverted this as the file is only present when chromium is installed... and a QA warning is shown then when it's not there
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4) > I reverted this as the file is only present when chromium is installed... > and a QA warning is shown then when it's not there not sure what you mean. /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts is installed by this package, so creating a symlink at /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts to point to it shouldn't result in a broken warning. i've readded it unconditionally in the new chrome-remote-desktop-77.0.3865.32 version.
