Definitely not a support of Google Chrome, but it will likely get security patches more quickly than Chromium.
This seems surprising, given that Chromium is the base code: My understanding is that Google occasionally takes a snapshot, decides to deem it stable, and adds a few few proprietary extras before releasing that as a Google Chrome thing. (I have avoided ever running Google Chrome, as I try to have minimal dealings with the second-nosiest company on the planet, and see no reason to trust its binary-only code, given ample alternatives.)
Okay, I was wrong then. However, Chromium is still, in some respects "Google property". Not sure which one gets updates first or how well they bounce those updates back and forth. I thought that Chromium was much like Google's Android vs the Google AOSP -- vanilla Android with less Google crap enforcement. Cheers A.
