That’s awesome. Do you happen to know if it will be in the Fedora repos?
@kpb
I would hope so. Currently openSUSE is deploying Chromium through their Contrib Build Service. I believe Fedora is doing something similar, although I’m not 100% sure which repository it is.
However you can just download the RPM and use it that way
