DragonFly team discusses Chromium APIs |
 |
There are often debates in the open source community around whether a downstream operating system, such as a Linux distribution or one of the BSDs, should ship unmodified upstream software, or customize it to introduce bug fixes or other improvements. Such a discussion is taking place in the DragonFly BSD community with regards to the Chromium web browser. There is some discussion as to whether Chromium should be built and packages with Google API keys included, or if these should be removed in favour of decoupling the browser from Google. Matthew Dillon wrote recently: "The keys are required by google to integrate with google services such as account synchronization and automatic translation. Without the keys, those services will not operate in a fully integrated manner (for example, no auto-translation, but you can still go directly to the translation URL). It's a bit of a mess, we're mulling over what to do. Honestly I'm leaning towards not building Chromium with any API keys at all since doing so marries the browser to Google's integrated services." |
