Hey Daniel, do you mean there is a hang on this patch and therefore all Chromium development on Power has stalled? Damn you have to try to fix it then, you can't even download it anymore and it's a shame because it's the best together with Firefox and it's a big lack for us in my opinion ...
It's still being updated:
https://github.com/leo-lb/ungoogled-chromium/commit/362ec8584e373b798f9e3e45f4791b2dae2d0ee3As usual, Google is not interested in merging patches, but that doesn't mean the community can't keep working around them downstream. As far as what it will take to convince Qt...well, that's another organization that has a long history of ignoring user requests. If there's a way to patch Qt downstream based on the existing Chromium port, that's probably the best bet.
As far as Google "killing" Chromium, all I see is they're moving the Google backend access into the proprietary builds. From my perspective, that's actually a plus -- no hidden sync with Google servers when using the open versions, and less to need to "unGoogle" over time. Frankly, if one is OK sharing all that data with Google in the first place, why not go buy a Chromebook or use Windows on x86....
