![]() Seems to work ok for me. www-client/chromium-55.0.2859.0::gentoo was built with the following: USE="cups custom-cflags (gn) hangouts (pic) proprietary-codecs pulseaudio suid system-ffmpeg tcmalloc -gnome -gnome-keyring (-gtk3) -kerberos (-neon) (-selinux) -test -widevine" ABI_X86="64" L10N="-am -ar -bg -bn -ca -cs -da -de -el -en-GB -es -es-419 -et -fa -fi -fil -fr -gu -he -hi -hr -hu -id -it -ja -kn -ko -lt -lv -ml -mr -ms -nb -nl -pl -pt-BR -pt-PT -ro -ru -sk -sl -sr -sv -sw -ta -te -th -tr -uk -vi -zh-CN -zh-TW" i recompiled chromium using your use flags but it did not help. then i found out it is caused by my chromium configuration. i have by default cookies and scripts disabled and facebook probably changed something so it stopped to work in my restricted browser. (In reply to Miroslav Šulc from comment #2) Heh, I'm surprised Facebook works at all under those conditions. i have cookies and javascript restricted by default but i had exception for https://www.facebook.com:443 for both cookies and javascript. it used to work fine for quite some time. today while looking into the issue more deeply i found out that when pulling chat info, facebook also contacts server 1-edge-chat.facebook.com or something like that so i had to enhance the rules to cover these too. since then it works as expected. anyway, running facebook and google things in different browser or profile would be more secure than this, this way they still can track me pretty well :-) |
