Sometimes, it is useful to have a blink based browser. The common choice for that is Chromium. However, on my machines Chromium needs several hours to compile and eats my complete RAM while compiling, in order of magnitudes more than every other package including Libreoffice/Firefox/QtWebengine/rustc/LLVM. For these other packages (mostly) exist a binary package. For Chromium of course google-chrome exists but is the "googled" version of it and needs the acceptance of a strange license. Can you instead provide a chromium-bin package as a precompiled version of www-client/chromium? Reproducible: Always
There used to be a chromium-bin package, but it was removed 9 years ago because it was too difficult to maintain. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo/historical.git/commit/?id=0201814df2b4e26881c95c2b81beeaa40e273a17
Maybe now it will be easy to maintain than 9 years ago.

I have added chromium-bin in my overlay at https://github.com/stha09/gpo-stha09 (it is available via layman and eselect repository) for amd64 and x86. If it works, then I might add it to the tree. Please test.

Also for me.
this works like a charm on arm64, only downside are fetch times: Sat Nov 21 17:48:57 2020 >>> www-client/chromium-bin-87.0.4280.66 merge time: 4 hours, 29 minutes and 52 seconds. but this is still much faster than non-bin on the slow arm64, only if you have plans to push it to the gentoo tree you should make sure that your distfiles get distributed by the gentoo mirrors, and not via dev.gentoo.org alone
with latest chromium-bin on arm64, it get an "aw snap" message on startup and this in console: [2137:2196:0103/214658.623007:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(621)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get: object_path= /org/freedesktop/UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files [2137:2196:0103/214658.623677:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(621)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.UPower.GetDisplayDevice: object_path= /org/freedesktop/UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files [2137:2196:0103/214658.624262:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(621)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.UPower.EnumerateDevices: object_path= /org/freedesktop/UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files chrome: malloc.c:2394: sysmalloc: Assertion `(old_top == initial_top (av) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse (old_top) && ((unsigned long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)' failed.

Can you show your emerge --info please?
Created attachment 681637 [details] output from emerge --info here is my emerge --info I went straigt from glibc-2.31-r6 to glibc-2.32-r3
Created attachment 682759 [details, diff] I think this solves the issue hey there, it was pretty difficult for me to upgrade the icu slot with the latest chromium-bin update. I ended up failing to tame the situation, it was always blocking other packages, and I believe this happened due to the way how your ebuild pulls in a fixed icu. Maybe it will work better this way, it is common practice to deal with icu slots that way in the tree. Can't test it myself, because I have already pushed the ebuild through :)

Can't test > it myself, because I have already pushed the ebuild through :) Slot operator makes is wrong here. I pushed chromium-bin with icu-68.2 dependency before icu-68.2 was stabilized on arm64. Anyways, does the new version work for you? If yes, we have to add glibc and gcc runtime dependencies to the ebuild too.
these errors can be solved by pulling in sys-power/upower: [2137:2196:0103/214658.623007:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(621)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get: object_path= /org/freedesktop/UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files [2137:2196:0103/214658.623677:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(621)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.UPower.GetDisplayDevice: object_path= /org/freedesktop/UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files [2137:2196:0103/214658.624262:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(621)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.UPower.EnumerateDevices: object_path= /org/freedesktop/UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files with the new ebuild the ahw snap message is gone, but I can't load any https webpages.
