This is an interesting package (I am interested in all things related to browser engines, particularly Chromium-based ones). I don’t have time to review this package right now. I hope that someone else does. But, if you don’t get a response in a couple of months, please hit me up and I will take a look at it if I have time then. -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
