Dibya Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I wish to trace out changes in latest important changes in latest chromium (security and rendering fixes) and apply on top of chromium 49 and recompile. Version number should be of latest one. So my question is does chromium src code is available as tar.gz file? I can't download such a big repo.

Yellow Horror Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Chromium is a bad choice to prolong XP usability because it don't have builtin support for ECC certificates. Many websites use ECC certificates already and the number of them will grow in the near future. I suggest you to concentrate your efforts on Firefox or another opensource browser (if there is any) with builtin ECC support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibya Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I am already working with FF 56 . Just wondering of chromium can be modified to add built in ECC support Edited November 2, 2017 by Dibya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotnuma Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Firefox and it's 10% of users and it will probably decrease.... Chromium would be a better choice if it's possible to add ECC support like QtWeb did. But browsers are so complicated that I doubt it will happen.

Unfortunately this error was not fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibya Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I am going to pull latest soarce and make a diff compare of 49 and 63. Finally we will re compile it. ECC support from QTWebengine can be back ported I will be very happy. I have to make the build environment ready first.

I'm not sure but it seems that QtWeb has its own cert management like Firefox does and it seems to work very well with ECC. Unfortunately it uses WebKit and seems totally dead.

FantasyAcquiesce Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Is Maxthon open source? It was the only web browser on XP I could use to bypass certificate errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"XP and its 6.47% of users and it will for sure decrease..." As long as a browser, or any other piece of software, works correctly for me, its marketing share don't bother me at all.

hotnuma Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Microsoft, Google and others done great efforts to kill XP so that people buy new hardware and new licenses, so it decreases of course. Firefox lost users because it's a bloated crap. In one hand they say they want to make a better Internet but in reality they didn't fix some html5 bugs that exist for years and now they drop million of XP users exactly like Google does so they are not better than Google.
