To avoid using the prebuilt binaries of `libchromiumcontent`, you can build `libchromiumcontent` locally. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Install [depot_tools](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md#Install)
2. Install [additional build dependencies](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md#Install-additional-build-dependencies)
3. Fetch the git submodules:
```bash
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
```
4. Copy the .gclient config file
```bash
$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v --build_libchromiumcontent
```
```bash
$ cp vendor/libchromiumcontent/.gclient .

5. Pass the `--build_libchromiumcontent` switch to `bootstrap.py` script:
```bash
$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v --build_libchromiumcontent
```
