Replacing Firefox with Google Chrome

[Marcos]

Hi!
I vote for Chromium, not Chrome.

But Chromium and Chrome has a important problem: I can't localize to
my language.
Only the languages that they choose, can enter in Chromium/Chrome.
You can read more here: http://acurti.es/8la
Marked as "Won't fix" :( I think is contrary to the free software.

Chromium/Chrome isn't integrated with the system, with "special"
menus, they not use the Guide of Usability :(

Best regards.
