Multiple issues.

Hi! I'm using Version 94.0.4606.81 (Fedora 34 Xfce) and facing few issues here.

1. I can not set it as the default browser - Chromium asks this every time I start it, clicking the button does not lead to anything.
2. When trying to access the file system (when trying to change the download folder or when trying to import bookmarks), the browser freezes, only pressing alt-f4 for forced closing helps.
3. Videos on many sites do not play - I get messages about an unsupported codec.
   In Slackware 15 RC + Xfce (similar setup) on another machine, everything works flawlessly out of the box.

3 is known, you need to set %global freeworld to 1 and re-compile.
I am not sure about 1 and 2. Can you test whether the chromium package has the same problem or not?

Why are you wasting your precious time creating non-usable things? There is Gentoo for recompilation.

[wchen342]

I don't know why you call it "non-usable" but as long as the codecs are non-proprietary like WebM they can be played.

We use OpenSUSE Build Service for compiling packages. FFMpeg with proprietary codecs cannot be compiled using their server. This is the same for the official Fedora chromium package, as shown here. Until we have our own build servers, this is unlikely to change.

@wchen342 Are you sure about that? We enable proprietary codecs for our other OBS builds.

I think that's against the guideline but they probably just don't bother to detect all the packages: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist

I am having the same issue as his first issue using fedora 35 Gnome. ungoogled chromium version 98.0.4758.80 says it isn't set as the default browser on startup.

This is on a completely fresh fedora 35 install using the OBS rpm repo.

~/.config/mimeapps.list is set as...
