I symlinked chromium's to google's and seems OK (have a save just in case). Two main differences: Translations -- Google's gets in the way unless one sets the option to not automatically offer translation. There are extensions including google's own which might get translation into chromium. Will try. Chromium comes up working much faster. Apparently google-chrome is searching apt-cache as nauseum on start and is blocked at this point. Probably looking for plugins or something else. Opera was my former choice but also takes forever to come up. At least google-chrome shows itself before blocking. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

So I have both chromium from Sid and google-chrome from google installed, sharing the same .config directory. No problem with deleted extensions. Having both around does confuse the default browser and each will ask anew every single time. So with chromium running, I click a link on an email and the taskbar shows google-chrome starting up for the link .... which then appears as a tab and process in the chromium-browser session. No harm done. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
