Chrome has been giving me more and more issues - the latest of which is failing to render images on Wikipedia for me -> http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-50b802580cb5f5.86152950.jp...

Thankfully, it has sent me back to Midori - which I hadn't used since its latest release. That little browser has come a long way and feels like it may finally be able to replace Chrome/Firefox for me.

Chrome has been giving me all sorts of issues lately - even refused to render the editor on blogger for me the other day. Firefox and Midori on the same system have been perfectly fine.

Hey Jeff,

Have you been writing nasty things about Google in your private correspondence*? I would guess so, hence, you are being rightly punished.

I was never sold on the idea of running a browser that reportedly phones home.

Chromium is the open-source project on which Chrome is built. It's pretty much the same, as far as I can tell.

I'm under the impression that Chromium does a lot less data harvesting and reporting.

I definitely don't/won't use Chrome. And with Firefox/Iceweasel, Opera, and a couple of text browsers, (and sometimes Midori, if that's installed by default) already at hand, I haven't felt any need to bother with Chromium. so I haven't looked that closely into the matter.

Chromium is an element in the Period Table.

Chrome is a thin veneer added to mediocre industrial designs to add Flash and Pizazz, where none exists. The inherent superficiality is soon recognized and its reputation for quality is short lived.

Your welcome,
