I found Chromium worked but with 'odd' behaviour. e.g. using gmail web
UI. It seemed a bit buggy when one tried to enter user and password.
Chrome seemed to have sorted that out... I think google have done
quite a bit of tweaking. However, I like the Firefox themes and addons
so decided to return to using it.
