I'm aware of the third party PPA workaround, but: a) I'm not really sure it can be trusted (I don't know Alex Shkop, sorry) b) I'm certain most people install Chromium from Canonical's repositories rather than PPA (Official or non-official). These people browse the Web with browsers that have known security vulnerabilities.
I believe the best way would be to treat chromium-browser updates as security updates (which they are), and push them to LTS releases, just like FireFox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081518 Title: Chromium-browser package is outdated and poses a security risk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1081518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
