+Chris' Private Gentoo Portage Overlay
+
+A lot of these ebuild files are just stolen from other overlays. As a principle
+I do not add third-party overlays to my system. Ebuilds are just shell scripts
+and despite being sandboxed malicious ones may still do unexpected harm to the
+system. Here is where I review third-party ebuilds and add them to my system.
+Occasionally I also add updated versions or fixes if some official ebuilds
+become unmaintained. All ebuilds here are only guaranteed to work with my
+particular setup. I don't test them for the sake of testing, i.e. This overlay
+is for private usage only. Use at your own peril.
+
+Chromium ebuilds until fairly recently (Chromium 87 I believe) were maintained
+by me. Those contain the VAAPI patch from Debian and are verified to be working
+on Intel iGPU. I stopped working actively on them since a) Chromium VAAPI works
+(almost) out of box on Linux desktop now and b) Stephan Hartmann
+(sultan@gentoo.org) stepped in and started doing God's work. You will probably
+never feel the pain to fix those stupid build errors with libstdc++ on an
+outdated dual core ULV processor... Current Chromium ebuilds are just forks of
+those in the official portage tree with minor tweaks. AND YOU SHOULD NOT USE MY
+OLD CHROMIUM EBUILDS BECAUSE NOBODY SHOULD USE AN OUTDATED BROWSER. They will be
+removed shortly.
