I would argue that the Chrome Team's idea of what a 'WEB BROWSER' is
and your idea of what a 'WEB BROWSER' is are vastly divergent. That is
totally OK and you are free to use whatever software you prefer. I
somehow doubt Chrom{e,ium} is losing tons of users due to their udev /
dbus / etc requirements.
Disclaimer, I work at Google (but not on any Chrom{e,ium}(OS) related projects.)
