Nice! I've been using this from your branch for a while now,
works just fine :)
Is this not affected by the chromium discussion which happened
a while back? Can we include this? I'm all for this, because I
mainly use it for websites where firefox/icecat doesn't work so
well, and building it locally takes a very long time.
(Pro-tip: Don't offload from very powerful laptops to 10 year
old computers with 2 cores ;))

But to notice: it builds with less than 3GB RAM.

Shouldn't you mention defines in addition to the define-public aswell,
or don't we do that?
