     Hello, I miss the Chromium browser I was used to in Ubuntu.  At
the Wikipedia Chromium page I find that it is licensed under various
licenses including free software ones:
    BSD license
    MIT License
    LGPL
    MS-PL
    MPL+GPL+LGPL tri-licensed[4]
[4] "Pass
the Ubuntu license check script"
. 19 November 2009.

     So, why is Chromium not in Trisquel?

There is an ongoing discussion on the possible issues surrounding
Chromium, QtWebEngine and the "app"-wrapped "webpages" made from
Electron ([1]).

The last message todate was [2].

The issue you link to (take a look at the "Blocked on" list on the left of the page too) is alone a good reason to not have Chromium in Trisquel.
