Hello,
I am a php/.net programmer. I downloaded the chromium browser source code in a folder on windows. I want to explore the code, tweak it a little and generate an exe.
Could you please tell me where to start? I have no knowledge in python
I don't need a detailed description, just the basics of opening the code (the project) so i can get started. I am familiar with vs projects that have a very defined structure.
Thank you alot

What I have tried:

I have tried opening the files but I don't understand the structure

I would start with setting up the development environment and build Chromium without taking account of the source code.
See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/windows_build_instructions.md[^] and https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code[^].

Once that is working you can start "tweaking" the code. But this requires at least basic knowledge of the used programming language. Even experienced programmers might need a lot of time to parse such big projects to find the parts they are interested in.
