Hi Boss, we did actually do some tests via https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1096603
It was pretty clear that the slimmed down Ffox was better for low resource machines (as evident in post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1096603/comments/4) In all my dealings with Chad from Canonical who looks after Chromium, I have have never had any cause to doubt his honesty and openness. That he suggests staying with Ffox for ubuntu is a massive statement. IMHO, Lubuntu would be wrong to not follow his advice. Regards, Phill.
