1. in /etc/portage/package.use/use
Code:

www-client/chromium -system-icu -system-harfbuzz -system-ffmpeg -system-png -system-av1 -system-zstd


2. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1089304-start-0.html

If you're installing say chromium-120.0.6099.129 you need to
Code:
 
    ebuild /var/db/repos/gentoo-20230605/www-client/chromium/chromium-120.0.6099.129.ebuild unpack
   

then open
Code:
 
    /var/tmp/portage/www-client/chromium-113.0.5672.126/work/chromium-120.0.6099.129/build/config/ui.gni
   

and add :
Code:
  use_atk = false

after
Code:
 
    use_atk = use_glib && current_toolchain == default_toolchain


to look like
Code:
 
    use_atk = use_glib && current_toolchain == default_toolchain
    use_atk = false
   


then
Code:

    ebuild /var/db/repos/gentoo-20230605/www-client/chromium/chromium-120.0.6099.129.ebuild merge
 


alternatively you can make a patch and modify ebuild, ui.gni is not changing often and the patch should work for many new releases and this will free chromium from the accessibility kit as well
