Thanks for the suggestion. I did not know they had a repository published. The times I installed Chrome were downloading the Debian package. But maybe this automatically adds an entry in /etc/apt/source.list.d. Kind regards, Daniel signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It seems that the maintainer is overworked and cannot provide Jessie updates for chromium anymore[1]. Somebody else said he might be looking at it[2], but that was six weeks ago and nothing happened so far. So while it is not clear when chromium in jessie will be EOL'ed, it seems advisable to switch to some other browser for now (if you want a package from Debian, firefox-esr is the only option).

Security updates for Chromium on Debian Jessie
Hi all! In the last DSA for the chromium-browser package (DSA-3985-1) I noticed that the updates were released for stable, testing and unstable but not for oldstable. I think the same thing happened with the previous update. Maybe I'm missing something and Chromium on Jessie is no longer getting security updates? Thanks in advance.
