Thanks, but this comment is not particularly helpful.

If upstream fixes the issue, please let me know.

Sorting out old bugs of mine, 4 years is enough ripening time ;-)

The upstream issue https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1055146 hasn't moved, so I am suggesting we fix it on our end.

Since this affects all 3 ebuilds www-client/google-chrome{,-beta,-unstable} and they are essentially the same (just KEYWORDS are different), I suggest a proper Gentoo dev adds this change in one commit.
Not sure if that affects also www-client/chromium ?

Iff deemed appropriate, of course.

I don’t see any reason to move the files downstream.
