NOTE: You may wish to replace ‘Default’ with something like ‘Cros’ if you switch back and forth between Linux and Chromium OS builds, or ‘Debug’ if you want to differentiate between Debug and Release builds (see below). # Enables many optimizations, leading to much slower compiles, links, Adds internal features and branded art assets.

Is_component_build = true # Links faster. Some additional options you may wish to set by passing in -args to gn gen or running gn args out/Default: use_goma = true # Googlers: Use build farm, compiles faster.
