I use Chromium every day. All browsers suck: Chromium is one of the
less sucky browsers. I find firefox now so bloated that I can't use it
for more than 10 minutes at a time.

My experience has been that browsers go bad and then get good again, so
your choice of browsers is best viewed as something fluid.
