A further bit of history on why *buntu still ships v25 of Chromium.. http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1ernda/some_more_reasons_for_sticking_with_firefox_as/

As firefox has been on the diet, I think that does reinforce us to switch back to it as we are committed to 32 bit machines. Regards, Phill.
