Well, the fact is that nowadays there must be more users running Chrome (for whatever OS) than users running Debian's Chromium so it's my understanding that more people using a program gives a higher chance for more bugs to be catched. > Do you think that the chromium version which is at the stable > repositories is secure enough? It should be. Look at the changelog, it's plenty of bug fixes: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/chromium-browser_6.0.472.63~r59945-5+squeeze4/changelog So, while you don't get any additional feature/enhancement that could have been added to the latest Chrome relase (11.x), you are still getting security patches.
