I think a lot of the reason why I don't use Gentoo anymore is because the time I have to waste when I have to compile Chrome from scratch and wait two hours vs. just installing a precompiled .deb archive. :)

I'm pretty certain you could just select the binary version of Chrome. Most large apps have a precompiled package: LibreOffice, Firefox...

There is no source version of Chrome since it's closed source. I assumed GP meant chromium. A while back there was a chromium-bin for a short period, but it seems to have fallen out of maintenance and is now removed.

Oh man, I always install binary chrome-stable. Rust is another I don't enjoy building, so bin package there as well. But god forbid one of LLVM, QT and glibc chewing up all my CPU time every few months.

Just as a data point, I have a new AMD 7840U-based laptop and I built rust in 38 mins, and firefox in 27.
