Google adds some proprietary things to Chrome that aren't present in Chromium and it enables some more video codecs (and flash). Crash reporting and some (minor) user tracking isn't in Chromium but once you start using Google services (especially sync etc) then I think the tracking will be much the same.
Main difference for me is that Chromium is available in the Debian repos.

Have you found that "learning accelerator" to be useful? I've heard several sources say that it's a scam; not even as good as numerous $0 alternatives.
...and, getting back to the won't-render-properly thing, for folks who claim to be able to sort out smartness, you'd think they could find someone who knows how to make a proper webpage without any errors. [w3.org]

Or am I being too pedantic?

See 'Other'.

Yes, that's how I voted, just wondered if that would skew the figures. It's a small sample set after all.

Well you're using an obscure browser, so 'Other' is the right way to handle it. There's no skewing here.

I voted "Pale Moon" but I occasionally use Chromium for sites that don't load/work for me in Pale Moon on Debian. Like lumosity.com [lumosity.com].
Is there any significant difference between Chromium and Chrome, licensing aside?
