Does anyone know if any browsers have Ubuntu RISC-V ports? Chromium or Firefox perhaps? Might be interesting to give it a spin.



Firefox has been able to run on RISC-V for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure I remember SiFive doing a demo back in 2018 at FOSDEM which included the browser. However generally GUI environments are still quite slow, so it won't be very usable.

Edit: This one I think: https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/riscv/ but I can only see them running Quake, not Firefox.


Firefox is on Debian riscv64, but Chromium is a lot less portable, and IIRC often rejects portability patches.

The latest Ubuntu image for the P550 has Firefox installed.
