thorium

I am now offering portable .zips that besides enabling true portable usage, can also be used to run/install Thorium on Linux distros that don't use .deb packaging. See the README.txt inside for instructions on using.

Thorium is now built with just AVX and not FMA on top of that, as per the description of the previous release. This will allow it to run on 2nd Gen Core/AMD FX Processors and up, and make use of the Intel HD patch to allow hardware GPU video acceleration on older intel chips.

Also, I am now offering portable .zips that besides enabling true portable usage, can also be used to run/install Thorium on Linux distros that don't use .deb packaging. See the README.txt inside for instructions on using. This comes at the recommendation of @Lehner82

This release does not have FMA, as I am considering removing it from thorium to allow it to run on older processors. The IntelHD patch is targetting older processors, and I want as many people to be able to use it. This release can be used on Sandy Bridge (2nd Gen Core) and Bulldozer (AMD FX) and up.

FIXED: Thorium branding in chrome://settings is now correct.

NEW: The installer no longer adds the annoying google chrome sources.list to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
NEW: Running thorium-browser from the command line (i.e. in /usr/bin) now calls the same flags as the .desktop file, needed since the profile dir is now changed from ~/.config/chromium to ~/.config/thorium.
FIXED: Postrm during apt purge no longer complains about the missing sources.list
FIXED: Running thorium-shell from the command line now parses any arguments you add to it (useful for testing which is what the content_shell in chromium is mainly for)
CHANGED: .debs will now no longer have "unstable" appended to it.

NEW: Google API Key warning is fixed.
NEW: Default browser infobar popping up even after setting thorium as default is fixed.
NEW: Added desktop actions on right click of Thorium launcher "Open Content Shell" and "Open in Safe Mode" (disables flags set in chrome://flags temporarily until next restart for diagnosing issues)
IMPORTANT: Thorium profile dir in this release is moved from $HOME/.config/chromium to $HOME/.config/thorium so move your profile data accordingly. This will allow running chromium simultaneously/independently with thorium and prevent user profile errors when people migrate from chromium to thorium.

Added many loop compiler optimizations. Yay.

Ink has been re-disabled following crashes.
Also, the google api key infobar patch isn't working in this one (of no major concern) and I will be putting it in BUGS.md and evaluating a fix.

Ink was reenabled but still crashes. Use previous release if you use PDFs heavily.
