Really? It is my primary development browser.  In fact, chromium 
has left me in the lurch more than once with its bugs (mainly 
with svg and resources memory management).

Imagine a company with products based on svg (complex ones with a 
lot of user interaction) and a new version of chrome that fails 
managing mouse events in some circunstances... my company begun 
to receive emails/phone calls from our customers telling that 
"our software bug" was making them lose thousands of euros every 
hour.  (Our company was a "personalization" service used by a lot 
of manufacturers eCommerce in Spain).

It was not the first neither the last problem that a new version 
of chrome caused to our company:  You can't say to a customer 
"tell your users to browse your ecommerce with Firefox or Safari" 
because Chromium dominates browsers market (it is a monopolistic 
control).

I remember when reported a bug about canvas/images memory leak 
(Our software processed hundred of images directly on web)... we 
find the solution to assigning 0 to width/height... but the 
chromium bug remained YEARS until it was solved.  It gives you 
the magnitude of what a monopolistic control signifies.

Adam, I really heated Chrome... and I simply don't tolerate each 
new browser based on chromium. I consider it a giant error.  "One 
ring to rule them all"

Firefox protection is a must.
