This happens regularly with browsers. It usually takes a few days until the problem is fixed and a new build is successful. Then a "pkg install chromium" will work again. freshports is a useful website for these kind of issues. It has a table with the versions that are currently available and at the moment there are some gaps indicating the issue with the build: freshports.org/www/chromium Best regards, Daniel
