Define "ready to use" - Midori might not have hit 1.0, but in the days where I come back from a walk around the block and Chromium's bumped another version number, that's hardly a way to measure things.
If it came to a vote, I'd keep Chromium, it's stable, it works, and it's got a large upstream which means we don't have to worry a *lot* about security bugs.
