Hi,
No, it would not be anyone's best option.
* It's not free software.
* It adds to web engine monoculture.
Why do people "need" a Chromium based browser? I've not heard of any
case, where that was not only an illusion of the person thinking, that
they need it.

Can you please link to some proof of this (such a file with a non-free
or missing license)? I have heard the claim that Chromium has files
with unclear licensing, but when I looked into it I was unable to find a
current example of such a file.

I agree.

Doesn't Firefox and it's derivatives contribute to that the most in GNU/Linux distributions? Not defending anything Google btw, fuckem.
