currently works with www-client/chromium-84.0.4147.XX in gentoo repo

  1. Get this script : https://gist.github.com/gyakovlev/d9dee9a554f5f1ff086b15e6f927ebf7

  2. run in, it will download patches to /tmp and will print directory.

  3. Place patches to /etc/portage/patches/www-client/chromium

  4. Tell chromium to use clang
    mkdir -p /etc/portage/env/www-client
    echo 'CHROMIUM_FORCE_CLANG="yes"' > /etc/portage/env/www-client/chromium

  5. add accept-keywords entry for chromium
    it should look like this:
    www-client/chromium **

  6. emerge chromium =)

  7. optional patches
    look at the script source, you can uncomment couple of extra patches not enabled by default.

  8. optional steps and add this line to /etc/portage/env/www-client/chromium

EXTRA_GN=" use_vaapi=true"
