Given that the privacy concerns have been neatly documented[1] by Google including instructions on disabling the offending features, I can't shake the doubt that they could ever be addressed in some peoples' opinions. [1] http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=114836&hl=en-GB Granted, I may just be ill informed. Is there some detail being missed in that document? It's not that I have anything against Iron, of course, though I am slightly wary of their website and apparent lack of a source repository. Doesn't feel brilliantly maintained. Maybe they just need a gentle nudge in Launchpad's direction. With regards to packaging, there is a Launchpad PPA with daily builds of Chromium, so they surely have sorted out any installation and packaging quirks in that source repository. Perhaps you can get a diff with Iron's changes, and if you're incredibly lucky it'll apply smoothly.
