IMPORTANT The main executable is now named thorium instead of chrome, and the main thorium shell executable is now named thorium_shell instead of content_shell. The Readmes and portable scripts and building instructions have been updated. You MUST do a sudo apt remove thorium-browser-unstable before upgrading, I.E. do NOT just install the new .deb in place over the old one.
NEWS for Linux Users: Me and @midzer are preparing a new website for Thorium, > https://thorium.rocks/ to replace alex313031@blogspot.com. This website will also be a tentative new place for a debian repo that one could add to their /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for automatic upgrades, similar to the Google Chrome .deb. I was going to set up a PPA on Launchpad, but realized I would be space limited, would not be able to build locally, and would have to make separate releases for every ubuntu/debian version. Plus we just wanted a proper site for branding, promotion, and explanation, so we are working on this as of yesterday.
