All web browsers suck, and take turns at being the champions of
suckatude. For the last three months, Chromium has sucked the least for
me. I felt guilty because it was a Google product, but Rick has a
point: ChromIUM is a free software product.

If you use Google maps (I unfortunately do), Chromium does a much
better job with them than the other browsers.

I might change my mind in a few weeks, but for now, Chromium seems to
be the least sucky browser.
