Hello, Has anyone tried to get Chromium to work on PPC ? That would be nice to add to PPC web browser list too.
Got a tip for us?

Opps ! Sorry.. I thought Chromium was a different browser.. Maybe Camino I was thinking of. That is a browser worth fixing. Oh, do you have shadowkiller ? When I tried to download it took me to a japanese porn site ! I found it on macintosh garden, but it does not work on Sorbet Leopard.. App opens then shuts down. Is there a tiger version only ?
Totally agree.
I've mainly used it on my G3 machines running Tiger without any problems.
Here's a universal binary (Intel and PPC) that I found by searching the unsanity site via the Wayback Machine. It appears to be the same release which I'm using so it should work but if not I'll send you a copy of my DMG.
I tried downloading it from their site in the past - opens and then crashes.. 1.3 version.. went to garden and samething. Maybe yours works under Sorbet Leopard.
Oh btw, adding to this. LWK is officially DEAD - It crashes even when trying to use it or using it with a search engine. Its now worthless dung.. Time for radical changes to bring back the PowerPC browsers that died - Camino, Opera, Stainless, even Seamonkey. LWK proved its failures tonight with me, as its officially dead and won't load sites anymore.
Here you go. Hopefully it works.
I haven't tried Sorbet Leopard yet so I don't know whether it will be compatible.
LWK has worked fine for me, just used it to watch a video and read Talospace on my Hi-Res. And in any case, Chromium is a downstream of WebKit, so...
It may have just randomly crashed. Did you try a second time?

Do you understand how Shadowkiller works? It is not a resident app. It isn't supposed to stay open.
You run the app, it kills window shadows, it terminates. That's all it does and that's how it works. It's not crashing, it's working as designed.
If it is NOT killing window shadows before closing then something else may be wrong.

You don't need Shadow Killer, Sorbet comes with its own in the Utility Scripts/System/Quartz Compositor folder.
