I agree with this, the thing should be disabled until the bug (proposing that someone installs a non-free browser in place of a free one) is fixed. > Third, what's wrong with using such an "old" browser?

The problem is that old browsers do not support the features of the site. I think that this is probably not the case for the version of Chromium that you are using but much older and the site will not work. As you say, the best thing would be to have a fallback HTML-only site for translation that comes up if the browser is too old. This has yet to be implemented though.
