Florian W.: Thank you for the clarification about version numbers. I checked my own software update log and agree that there was, in fact, no Chromium 35 from the Update Manager. Apparently Google's view of the world through their narrow Windows does not give them much a realistic panorama of the whole world.
I am now wondering if there is an easy way to revert to Chromiun 34. Or would it be better to just abandon Chromium altogether on my older machine?
