Totally Libre Version of Chromium?

Hi. I am interested in running Chromium in Trisquel, but saw that it isn't in the repos. I read this post http://trisquel.info/en/forum/chromium-web-browser-freelibre
I am curious though. Is there a 100% libre version of Chromium something similar to what abrowser is for Firefox? If there isn't a 100% free current package out there of Chromium, could you please tell how to download the Chromium code, rip out the non-free parts, and then create a new libre version of Chromium? Also, is there also a way to have 100% free extensions in Chromium without having to install them from Google? Thank you.

Google said it was a "bug", introduced by "mistake"...
They are right on the first one, the bug.

Bug Bug (b[u^]g), n. [OE. bugge, fr. W. bwg, bwgan, hobgoblin,
scarecrow, bugbear. Cf. Bogey, Boggle.]

The problem is not only to remove invitations to proprietary software (the main difference between Firefox and Abrowser). See the "Blocked on" list on the left sides of https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28291 and https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28287
As an addendum, there is Iridium, whose version 44.1 is free software[1].

then remove the iridium folder in /home
then reinstall and run it

Thanks everyone. I installed Iridium Browser from their repositories and love it. It is possibly a more secure browser than Chromium and as far as I know is 100% libre. I would vote for it to be included in the official Trisquel repositories. And as ADFENO points out, the FSF endorses this as free software, so I wouldn't see any problems including it in the official Trisquel repositories.
I have this eror:
Failed to fetch https://downloads.iridiumbrowser.de/ubuntu/dists/belenos/main/binary-amd64/Packages HttpError404
Failed to fetch https://downloads.iridiumbrowser.de/ubuntu/dists/belenos/main/binary-i386/Packages HttpError404
Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
edit: problem solved
1. Go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d
2. Open the Iridium repo's file as the administrator (you'll be asked for your password)
3. If an Iridium file doesn't exist there open /etc/apt/sources.list instead (as the administrator, password will be asked)
4. Replace belenos with trusty in the Iridium repo's line(s).
