Thank you for this port! 

I have tested with ungoogled-chromium and firefox on amd64 7.7 and they
both work very well and as expected. I am running cwm, so I had to
install a gpg pop-up and I chose the QT version. Also works fine. Now 
have pass on the phone and computer, very nice. 

I installed it straight from the ports tgz that was posted to the list 
and it installed without any issues. 
  
I hope that this can get into the ports tree soon. 

Thank you, Aric
