Right after I sent the email I realized I should have written:
I tried to compile chromium but I get stuck at the dependencies based on how they recommend compilation, see: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!mydiscussions/chromium-disc.... I am not sure how fedora builds it but it magically exists.
As to weston, I do admit that I have not attempted to compile it albeit it seems the world is going to wayland and weston is the reference implementation. Since X exists why not weston.
As to politics I'll stay out of it but I believe there is a difference between chrome and chromium. I believe microsoft is possibly competitor to google. Nonetheless, in your honor I just checked and saw firefox exists so I will give that a try.
Cheers!

You can download the source code of those applications, compile them, and run them on your ARM device.
With that, how about a little on politics?
How about *NO* for including Chromium?
Reason is, a lot of people now, for some reason, using Chrome based browsers despite being resource hogs, and data collectors for Google. Just recently, Microsoft announced they are giving up on their own browser web engine, and going to start putting Chrome's Blink web engine in Edge browser.
This sets a dangerous precedent. This would give Google more even more control over the Internet in setting the standards, and data collection on everyone. There are already web standards as set up by W3C which will probably be ignored in the near future if things keep going the way they are.

Hi,
What are the chances of getting chromium and weston on aarch64? They do exist in fedora if that helps or makes a difference.
Fingers crossed!
