19 But only if you don't care about the differences between Chrome and
20 Chromium. They are close, but not (unless I'm terribly mistaken)
21 exactly the same. The latter is completely FOSS, but the former
22 contains some Google specific additions. While I do have both
23 installed, I don't particularly trust Google enough to use Chrome
24 unless nothing else works. It's pretty rare I need to use it.
