> Thankfully there are plenty of fixes available. Here's one of them Sounds wonderful, along with the accrued online karma points. As great as one person is, they will never be the upstream source. Here's my ppa also, I have a proven track record of updating browsers with security hotfixes hours before anyone else, but on the downside I really don't secure my system at all and leave my laptop unattended in Starbucks, please subscribe: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:TOTALLYNOTMALWARE/chromium-beta sudo apt update sudo apt install chromium-browser

Of course you should pick the poison that matches your risk level. I agree that installing random ppas brings all sorts of risks, just like any other 3P code you install - pip/gem/npm-installed libraries, chrome extensions, etc. All these are real attack vectors. My original point was that replacing your OS because you can't install Chromium seems ludicrous to me, when you can easily find alternatives. Here's a few better options: 1) Use official packages from debian: https://askubuntu.com/a/1206153/161744 https://askubuntu.com/a/1206153/161744 2) Use Pop!OS repositories (assuming you trust System76 folks): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:system76/pop 3) Compile Chromium from source https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code
