Chrome on Launchpad?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)  
Chrome is the name of 2 different things; a web-browser which has been around for ages now and an OS which is slightly newer.  Very "Zen" of them!  The OS supposedly runs inside the web-browser so the 2 things; the OS and the web-browser are 1.  

So, people got fed up of asking or dealing with the question "Do you mean the web-browser or the OS?" and just started called the web-browser "Chromium" instead, to avoid confusion.  Unfortunately Google still call it Chrome.  So the sensible Ubuntu people take Chrome (the web-browser) and rename it Chromium to fit in with the rest of the entire world outside of Google's insanity.  

Does that clarify it or make it "clear as mud"?
Regards from 
Tom :)
