At least it is an option. I would have to vote for Firefox for the LTS, give Chromium a chance to stabilize. Also, perhaps looking at Midori vs Chromium for Lucid+1 again. Midori is now maintained by the Xfce developers, isn't it? Chromium bothers me, for for reasons I really can't put a finger on right now. Perhaps it is what I see/hear about google and privacy. Any user can switch the default search easy enough in Firefox.
