DaemonFCWebkit, at least, is not ChromiumJul 17 02:48
DaemonFCGoogle adds a lot of bad things directly to the Chromium source code.Jul 17 02:48
DaemonFCThere are also no real releases of Chromium.Jul 17 02:55
DaemonFCYou can use the same one Google does but none of the releases are long lived.Jul 17 02:56
DaemonFCSo it sort of becomes a "trying to backport fixes and hope you don't miss something important".Jul 17 02:56
