Based on latest Chromium version 101.

Includes new logo, as the Chromium and Chrome logo have been updated upstream.
Includes some more new patches, from various sources and some written by me, see Readme.
Also includes a new binary, called pak, which can be used to pak and unpack the .pak files used in Thorium or any other Chromium based browser.
Usage: ./pak -u and ./pak -p, help via the normal ./pak -h
Useful for just seeing what's inside them, and the assets Thorium uses to work, or also modifying them and adding your own pictures/assets for things in the UI.

Also, thank you @raingart for making a runner script and .desktop file, which are both useful for installing Thorium on Arch linux with some better integration than the ones inside the portable .zip, which are written for generic linux usage. Note these could also be used on other linux distros, but please look inside them and compare with the default ones in the .zip, and modify as necessary for your needs.

AND, thank you @JPratama7 for a pkgbuild (which would need to be modified for the specific Thorium version you want) for making a package for Arch linux. Could also be modified to make an .ebuild for Gentoo.

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.

19th Release - M99.0.4803.0

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.

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.
