Chromium patches from Kiwi Browser, ported to an actual Chromium source

Assembled from Kiwi Patches, Kiwi Source and a few hours of my life.

How to use:

• Get Chromium source
• Switch to the supported version (corresponding to a git tag)
• Build, using gn flags from GN_FLAGS file

Options:

• with plugins flag (some parts are heavily patched)
• without plugins flag (according to Kiwi devs it may be broken because extension && (~plugins) combination is not supported by Google

Works:

• compilation
• browser startup (release builds only)
• browser (at least sites tested)
• Chrome Web Store (it does not report success for the first installed extension)
• chrome://extensions
• uBlock Origin (partially)
• uMatrix (partially)
• Dark Reader

Does not work:

• anything (debug builds)
• element picking in UBO
• page refresh from UBO
• extension sideloading :(

Not tested:

• anything else
