Your issue, however, is with the open source Chromium package provided by Ubuntu. This package is in the "universe" repository, which is "not officially supported".
- willvarfar 15y agoI was rather hoping that any profile given to this entry will get the attention of coders at ubuntu and google who browse HN and they will be motivated to fix this. The idea that end-users of Ubuntu have to install special repos with labels like 'unstable' in order to be safe when Windows and Mac users get stable yet safe releases weeks ahead means normal, usual, average Ubuntu users are less safe than other platforms. Ick.
- ZeroGravitas 15y agoI'm not sure you're following his point. Chromium for Ubuntu isn't really a Ubuntu/Canonical or Google project. If you want Google's Chrome, you can have it. You don't need to use an 'unstable', beta or dev repo to get it (though you have that choice if you want more up-to-date features). And (I assume) it gets updated in sync with Windows and Mac.
