Besides issues related to Chromium's poor support for privacy features, it also has no real security support. There's nothing but "install the newest and greatest, right now". Unlike Firefox' long-term-support releases, any version of Chromium becomes unsupported the moment a new one appears. Even worse, there's no heed that such new version builds on toolchains which are not likewise "newest and greatest" (such as gcc-4.7). Please read: https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2015/msg00031.html -- there is no security support for Chromium on any Debian release: support on wheezy had to be dropped, while there's no jessie yet, and wheezy has still 1.5 years of primary security support, not to even mention LTS. -- // If you believe in so-called "intellectual property", please immediately // cease using counterfeit alphabets.
