Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

About

I developed this tool to securely install or update the latest Chromium snapshot version directly from Google servers. This tool is compatible with Linux, macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows, and rooted Android devices, requiring only two main dependencies (seven, including sub-dependencies). Its primary function is to download the latest snapshot file from https://www.googleapis.com/ and then unzip the files into /opt/chromium/ for Linux or C:\Program Files\Chromium for Windows using a module named yauzl. On macOS due to OS restrictions this tool only downloads .zip file to ~/Downloads and the user have to manually install it.

How to use on PC

  1. Install from NPM globally using: npm install -g chromium-installer
  2. Set keys once either for Linux (nonroot) ./scripts/set-API-keys-Linux.sh or Windows .\scripts\set-API-Keys-Windows.bat
  3. Download & install as admin/root using the following command chromium-installer
  4. Don't forget to make chrome executable on Linux.

Linux (sandbox crash)

There is a bug where sandboxing may not work and make Chromium crash. Some linux distributions does not support unprivileged user namespaces and may need the following kernel tweak.

sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

*May Compromise System Security

How to use on Android (root)

  1. Download and install Termux.
  2. Make sure you have installed the root and nodej.js packages, if not run (non root) pkg install tsu && pkg install nodejs
  3. Install the package using npm install -g chromium-installer (non root)
  4. Now switch to root using tsu and run chromium-installer-updater
  5. Install the apks using the following command:
    pm install -r /data/local/tmp/chromium-installer/chrome-android/apks/ContentShell.apk

TIP: Alternatively skip the steps 4 & 5 and run the script located at ./scripts/android.sh using the following command as root: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/node_modules/chromium-installer/scripts/android.sh
