Hi David, thanks a lot for your ideas. Do you have more information on which Chromium version will be in the Ubuntu repo? The reason why some people refrain from using Chromium are privacy issues. An RLZ identifier, an encoded string is sent to Google on search queries or every 24 hours with

Ubuntu flavors are not LTS in the same way as Ubuntu itself. LTS I think has a specific meaning that implies with it Canonical paid support as being valid for those who have service contracts for the same period, and there is no Canonical paid support for Lubuntu or other community spins.
