Discontinued Project / 此项目已放弃支持

This project has been discontinued due to google's cut off of third party Chromium sync support. Related News

Without sync support, there's no reason to keep using Chromium.

Chrome has never been an option, so I'm currently migrating to Microsoft Edge, if you're looking for an alternative too, why not give it a try :P

Introduction / 简介

English

Chromium-EyeProtect is a fork of Chromium Browser.

This fork was intended to rollback said "Refresh UI" to the legacy UI, which I think is nice and productive.

I know everyone has his/her own view about what UI is beautiful, therefore, if you like this project, I'd like to provide you with these patches or even pre-built binaries to "protect our eyes".

If you don't like it, you may simply close this page.

You can check My Blog (Chinese) for more details. To setup API Keys, please refer to This Article or My Blog (Chinese).

Chromium-EyeProtect 是 Chromium Browser 的一个分支.

该分支意在将所谓的 "Refresh UI" 回滚到我认为好看且高效的传统 UI

我知道每个人关于什么 UI 好看的观点各部相同, 因此, 如果你喜欢这个项目, 我很乐意给你提供这些补丁或者预编译的安装包来 "护眼".

如果你不喜欢这个项目, 你可以直接关闭本页面, 不需要尝试把你的观点强加在别人身上.

你可以访问 我的博客 来得到更多信息, 关于 API Key 的配置请参考 本文.

Building / 构建

Patches here are meant to be applied to Chromium official source directly. The following steps shows you how to start from zero.

1. Get chromium code following This Guide
2. Checkout to the target version, each version in chromium repository have an corresponding tag
3. Move to src directory and apply patches using git apply <Patch Name>
4. Sync dependencies using gclient sync -D --with_branch_heads --with_tags --force
5. Use gn args out/Release to modify build parameters
6. In some scenarios, the gn won't wait for your editor to exit, so you have to run gn gen out/Release again after you modified parameters
7. Finally, you can use autoninja -C out/Release chrome to build chromium
8. If you want to get an installer (in windows), use autoninja -C out/Release mini_installer and pick up mini_installer.exe in Release directory.
