This is a Guix "channel" for the Chromium web browser.

* How to use

Create or modify the =~/.config/guix/channels.scm= file so it looks

something like this:

:  (cons (channel

:         (name 'guix-chromium)

:         (url "https://gitlab.com/mbakke/guix-chromium.git")

:         (branch "master"))

:        %default-channels)

Then run ~guix pull~.  Now you can install ~chromium~, ~chromium-widevine~,

or ~ungoogled-chromium-widevine~.

* Warning

The ~-widevine~ packages contains a binary-only library that implements

DRM.  Use at your own risk.  The ~chromium~ package alone does not come

with Widevine.

Note that Widevine is not detected on the first instantiation of

a browser profile.  Thus...

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

guix shell chromium-widevine -- \

  chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/i-just-want-to-watch-a-movie

#+END_EXAMPLE

...will report that Widevine is missing on the first invocation, but work

if you exit the browser and run the same command again.
