It's dispiriting. All web browsers suck, and take turns at being the champions of suckatude. For the last three months, Chromium has sucked the least for me. I felt guilty because it was a Google product, but Rick has a point: ChromIUM is a free software product. If you use Google maps (I unfortunately do), Chromium does a much better job with them than the other browsers. I might change my mind in a few weeks, but for now, Chromium seems to be the least sucky browser.
