I've found 2 things that Chrome has that Chromium doesn't. Chrome ships with a current version of flash built in which chromium doesn't have at all, unless you pull the flash out of a version of Chrome which can be easily done. Chrome also ships with the necessary DRM libraries that allow you to play Netflix which you can't do with Chromium.

Installing Chrome silently adds Google's repos to your system and

    On my Linux Mint 17 system, the chromium browser was installed by

    and it has seemed to work well for most things ... but I've been getting
    messages from Google that read: "This version of Chrome is no longer
    supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser."

    So is it safe and prudent to install the Chrome browser to replace
    chromium?  I seem to remember reading a while back that there were
    problems with running the Chrome browser on Linux.

    Please advise what to do.
