I'd like to try and summarize some of the issues and concerns that people have. What do people think? Given all of this, I'm not so sure that Chromium is the best fit for Xubuntu, at least for now. The translation issue is important to our users, and the codec issue is important to me. The privacy issue seems important to some, but I tend to think that most anything we do on the internet can be tracked somehow (unless we use the extreme step of using Tor or something). The smaller memory footprint provided by Chromium would be a "nice to have" feature, but we've survived using Firefox for a good while - using it for a LTS would probably be the best thing to do.

This was my knee jerk reaction, but I've become convinced it's the right way after following this discussion. <blockquote cite="mid:20100128103319.55d0ce4d@teamcharliesangels.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> 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? </pre> </blockquote> Yes, Midori is maintained by the Xfce team. Again, I would *love* to see Midori on Xubuntu, once its problems are solved. <blockquote cite="mid:20100128103319.55d0ce4d@teamcharliesangels.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> Chromium bothers me, for for reasons I really can't put a finger on right now.
