Personally i consider Chromium as not really free. Simply because of it's development model (not developed in an open community form, from the start) and codebase size (no single human can know it all). Personally i consider a software free if it born free, developed openly so to have eventually a community of different peoples with different ideas, set of interests, culture, ... have seen the code from it's early days when it was small enough to be fully understood and subsequent discussions/evolution happened in such open manner. It's not exactly a measurable thing, and it's not merely "freedom" but for me is a requirement to consider a software as a really free one: the freedom of knowing and trusting it with acceptable efforts.
