Chromium is mostly unencumbered by Google bloatware, honestly it's the version most people should be using.

  What are the practical differences? (Most of my searches come up with 2014ish stuff..)

  "Features that communicate with Google made available through the compilation of code in Chromium are subject to the Google Privacy Policy." from https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy

    Any idea what specifically they are referring to? There is at least some "communication with Google" that could be considered innocuous. For example - accessing their Safe Browsing API (also used by Safari and Firefox).

      Probably signing in with your Google Account on Chromium.

  One reason I have to use Chrome (over Chromium) is so I can use Netflix due to DRM plugin required: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1371274 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+... Otherwise I agree, Chromium is faster and has less suprises

    I use Netflix in Chromium via chromium-widevine (in the AUR if you use Arch.)
