chromium_52.0.2743.116 + pepperflash_22.0.0.209
UPDATED 06-aug-2016
THIS VERSION WILL ONLY WORK ON "MODERN" PUPPIES - e.g. LxPup, LxPupTahr, Slacko6, TahrPup6, X-tahr, X-Slacko
and then only on versions with kernels newer than 3.14 unless you apply the patch here which does affect sandboxing

32bit sfs:
chromium_52.0.2743.116+pepper_22.0.0.209_lx.sfs
64bit sfs:
chromium64_52.0.2743.116+pepper_22.0.0.209_lx.sfs
older .pet versions are available or use the converter.
Caveats and constraints as detailed above
If you need a .pet instead of a .sfs or you want the 64-bit .sfs to run on tahrpup64 then use this converter.
To use services, such as Netflix, with protected content, you probably need to add the widevine plugin to Chromium (see testing thread). Links to the versions compatible with the above versions of Chromium are below. Just download the .txz file and then click on the downloaded file to install it.

Chromium Crashes
I have installed the latest SFS on my Slack 6.3 install on my X61.
Frequently Chromium will freeze up and cause a screen flash. I have launched it from the console and am receiving the attached errors. Particularly when I use the back arrow navigation and when switching tabs.
I have tried installing and un-installing widevine with the same results
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
I did some research and found that this is an intel driver issue, starting chroumium with the following settings seems to mitigate the issue:
just need to determine how to always start chromium with these flags instead of through the console.

Edit /usr/bin/chromium

I tried this but the flags actually need to come before the chromium-browser. I tried editing all of the scripts to start the browser but none will let me put the flags before the actual command.
Thanks,

if they are environment variables rather than cli parameters then they need to go on separate lines preceeding the exec line.....

G'day All,
For what it is worth, several of my older computer single core systems exhibited the freeze up and on occasions displaying the black squares in the four corners of the screen. My solution search returned a recommendation to disable hardware acceleration in the browser "settings". Since this was easy to do, I gave it a try and have had improved results for playback and stability. The black square issue appears to be eliminated. There are still some news web sites with auto loading flash video feeds that occasionally still lock things up to the point of a power cycle but those are much less frequent.
Cheers!

Re: chromium_52.0.2743.116 + pepperflash_22.0.0.209
I'm not sure if this is interesting at all but I would like to report chromecast works with this browser via the following extension:s243a wrote: I can't remember if I installed widvine but in July I installed Chromium 43.0.2357.132 and it worked with netflix on tahrpup. FOr me to get it to work I also installed some codec files from the puppy package manager.
There is this one:
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_50.0.2661.102.files
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... fd/support
One downside is that when you share a tab with chromecast it stops the audio on your local computer and sends it to the TV. I would like to be able to choose which device (or possibly have both) play/s the audio.
Also it is supposedly possible to share an entire desktop. I haven't figured out how to do this yet.
edit: I found a solution but the task bar comes partly off the screen when I do it.
From redit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/com ... _keep_the/Figured it out.
1) Go to "Back to the Device List" on the Google Cast button in your browser.
2) Click the little chevron/down arrow
3) Click "Cast Entire Screen." Now the audio should play through your laptop; this means you can play it via headphones, or through BlueTooth audio as I'm doing!
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this is fixed in the newer releases but the history feature (either cntrl-H or via the menu) is shutting down the browser.s243a wrote:

I'm guessing this is to do with the glibc issue again, yes? I've just packaged Chrome 53.0.2785.101 for 64-bit Tahr/Slacko, and it's working fine. I'm posting from it now.
As we all know, specific versions of Chrome have always been taken from the equivalent version's Chromium project source code.....and then re-compiled against an older version of the glibc. At least, that's how it seems to have been done for several years now.
I'm guessing Google have always employed this practice to ensure Chrome's 'use-ability' on the largest possible number of machines.....
How long this practice will continue is, of course, anybody's guess..! We shall see. I never thought I would see the practice evolving (on the Linux side of the fence) where the user has to upgrade the entire OS just to be able to continue to use their favourite browser safely.....
Mike.

Yes
AlienBob (who does the chromium compiles) only seems to have the effort available to compile Chromium-53 for slackware-14.2 / current - maybe somebody else will take up the slackware-14.1 update....we shall see...

Alienbob's the same age as me. It's no fun trying to re-engage back in the jobs marketplace at our time of life.....
I wish him the best of luck. He's going to need it.
