Hi David,

thanks a lot for your ideas.

Do you have more information on which Chromium version will be in the
Ubuntu repo? The reason why some people refrain from using Chromium
are privacy issues. An RLZ identifier, an encoded string is sent to
Google on search queries or every 24 hours with Chromium. Will that be
changed in the Chromium version in Ubuntu?

Thanks,

Mario
