How to install Chromium 57

Tue Jun 20, 2017 1:29 pm

Hi,

I've managed to install Chromium 56 on my Raspberry Pi. Works beautifully. However I need css grid support that was introduced in Chromium 57.

Running

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

returns

chromium-browser is already the newest version.

How do I install Chromium 57 or later? Doesn't have to be the stable version.

Newer versions need special patches for RPi, so there are delays between versions.

Hey, it's always good to check "Can I Use".com. http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-grid
My answer is not "how to install Chromium 57", but 56 actually has experimental support so you can turn it on by going to [url]chrome://flags[/url]
I had the same need and it's working great for me.
