Casey Primozic ☛ Fixing a Bug in Google Chrome as a First-Time Contributor
I recently finished up the process of fixing a bug in the Chromium/Google Chrome web browser. It was my first time contributing to the Chromium project or any other open source project of that scale, and it was a very unique experience compared to other open source work I've done in the past.
I figured that I'd write up an overview of the whole process from beginning to end to give some perspective for any other devs looking to try this kind of work themselves.

Doing this removes the egregious Google Play Services although, of course, this severely limits my ability to run Android apps. That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make, although not without some regrets.
