Chromium vs Firefox : Need testimonies

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Steve,

yeah, the feature freeze for what ships in lubuntu is not indeffinate... as
for grabbing chromium stuff?
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-google-chrome It
appears about as hard as switching from Ffox to Chromium that we did a few
years ago. An upgrade should never remove personal data, just that we would
need ensure that people doing an upgrade know where to get the information
(and, of course, us test it works!).

Regards,

Phill.
