Chrome in ubuntu
Quite interesting news in the world of open-source software. Perhaps the most popular Linux distribution - Ubuntu sees Chrome as a replacement for Firefox.
Ubergizmo has heard that Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) is considering adding Chrome (or Chromium) to the Ubuntu Linux Netbook Remix (Netbook Edition), which will be released this fall. Why they took this step is not exactly known, but apparently they feel that the new browser under load works better than Firefox. No one would deny that Firefox sometimes uses too many resources. It's all quite blurry and I have no idea if this is true or not. I do not give preference to any browser.
There is confusion in what will be placed in Ubuntu: Chrome or Chromium. I would like the operating systems to come with open-source software, which Chrome is not.
The difference between Chrome and Chromium according to Wikipedia:

Who needs all that rubbish in Chrome? Just not for me. But it is not known what will happen in Ubuntu: because it already contains proprietary software (Flash, some drivers, and so on) I do not know what Canonical will choose.
Perhaps this is just a loud rumor, and I took you a few minutes to waste. Or, it could be a sign that people are starting to feel less “loyal” to Firefox. Who knows

From myself: perhaps this is really just a rumor. Let us not discuss their origin, but that moment, if indeed the rumors, suddenly, will turn out to be true.

Chromium is an open source web browser, on the basis of which Google Chrome is created, a web browser oriented by Google. The goals of the project are to create a safer, faster and more stable browser for all Internet users. Chromium is partly released under the BSD license, other parts have been subject to various open source licenses, including the MIT, GNU LGPL, MS-PL, and MPL / GPL / LGPL Tri-licenses.
It is possible to download and build the latest versions for Windows, Linux or Mac.
Chrome, on the other hand, installs an auto-update system service, for example, sends encrypted statistics about browser crashes.
