The Chromium package in Ubuntu is several major versions behind, and I would definitely not suggest using it. Debian has up-to-date versions in sid. Firefox on Ubuntu gets timely (within a couple days of upstream) updates, and the official Chrome PPA (from Google, installed when you use their .deb package) is kept up to date.
Edited for correctness, thanks xfs.
- xfs 14y ago"effectively unmaintained"? It has 21 updates till now in this year, probably just one release behind chromium stable channel. http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/current/changelog http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/chromium-b... Of course you need sid, because of too many bugs.
- tomku 14y agoI'll edit my post, you're absolutely right.
- jevinskie 14y agoIs the "official Chrome PPA" the same thing as the APT repository that the Chrome .deb (downloaded from google.com/chrome) adds to your sources.list?
