Chromium の軽量フォークの Thorium

Thorium という Chromium をコンパイラの最適化などを使い,通常の Chromium に比べて 8〜38% のパフォーマンスの向上が実現できるものを知りました.

サブプロジェクトが多数あり,各種環境向けのThorium やThoriumOS, Codium などもあります.

モバイル端末の電池持ちが良くなったり,古い端末での動作が軽くなるのではないかと期待が持てます.

導入

今回は Debian sid amd64 環境へ..deb のリポジトリが用意されているのでこちらを利用しました.

$ sudo wget --no-hsts -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ http://dl.thorium.rocks/debian/dists/stable/thorium.list
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install thorium-browser
$ thorium-browser --version
Thorium 124.0.6367.218 stable, built on Ubuntu

起動

起動すると見た目は Chromium です.普通に使え,Chrome の拡張機能も利用できます.Google アカウントの同期も可能です.
ということで使い勝手は Chromium と変わらず.

しかし,しばらく使っていましたがアップデートが降りてきません.Chromium に追従しておらずセキュリティ的に不安が残ります.

Chromium のchangelog を見ると urgency=high を含むセキュリティ修正が沢山.
