There is a Port already, available on github: https://github.com/cpu82/iridium

I see the maintainer is chromium If that's a valid user/group, why is it not in the ports tree already? I'm going to fork it, and give it a spin. Hope it works! :-) Thanks for the clue, Le Baron d'Merde! --Chris
(In reply to Le Baron d'Merde from comment #1) Why not directly in Ports?
well I forked a copy from github. Examined it more closely, then packed up the necessary bits, and dumped them into ports/www (as iridium). Then simply issued a make. Followed by a make install. It builds just fine -- albeit a bit slowly, as blowzilla does. Another point to make; the src download (iridium) is around half a gigabyte (compressed). So you won't be building this on anything light on resources. I can confirm it's ready to hit the ports tree. I have a typescript ( script(1) ) of the entire build/ install process, to prove it! :-) I'd create a pr(1) for the port' addition. But I didn't create the port, cpm@ did. So I guess the best route is to wait till Carlos submits it -- or prod Carlos to do it. ;-) My evaluation; It works every bit the same as the chromium port does. But it has more settings/options related to secutity. I found it a bit "klunky", not unlike I found the chromium port. It (like chromium) isn't very good with modern web standards -- fancy css3, and such. OTOH iridium is built from an older version of chromium (54.0). From around mid 2016, I think. So I might retrieve a copy of head, and see how that builds/works. Well. There you have it. :-) --Chris
Thank You ;)
I haven't committed iridium into the ports tree because some CVE security vulnerabilities may impact on this version. Note that the iridium browser is based on chromium source and the latest version released is a bit old. http://lists.inai.de/pipermail/iridium/2017-March/000630.html I guess that iridium developers will update iridium to a more recent version.
iridium browser was added to the ports collection. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=439777
