Reading up on GNU Taler, Chromium seems like a poor choice for an
anonymous payment system.  Why not GNU IceCat?  I don't see Chromium
becoming stable enough for guaranteed privacy any time soon.  And a full
fork would require a large maintenance team.

Unfortunately I got busy after the latest update, and haven't had time
to work on 65 yet.  I will send an update once I get around to it, and
also try some other Inox patches and see if they help with the "first
launch" issue -- hopefully within a week or two.
