There are differences between Chrome and Chromium which makes it worthwhile to
distinguish between the two. The really big difference for me is that Chrome
comes with objectionable Terms-Of-Service, but Chromium does not. There are
also several other technical and feature differences.
What are the technical differences? I've assumed Chromium was just
Chrome with the Big Brother stuff and possibly some encumbered stuff
missing.
I find myself using several browsers depending on what I'm doing, but Chromium
isn't one of them -- somehow I just don't like the interface.
I have been forcing myself to use Chrome to be able to have an opinion
about whether or not its speed matters to me (it does not) or whether or
not I think it is a better browser than Firefox (I do not). There's a
lot of little things I just don't like about Chrome, but the one I can't
get over is I feel like I'm using the Fisher-Price/Playskool browser.
It upsets me that Mozilla seems to be taking all its cues from Chrome
these days. If I wanted Chrome, I'd use it.
