Chrome is open-source Chromium plus an auto-updater and Flash.

Plus DRM and possibly other things Google is not telling us. It is a propriety browser distributed as a binary, effectively closed-source, so there is no way for us to know.

Chromium! = Chrome and more people who realize that (and vocalize it) the better.

So what, anyone who wants to use Chrome-targeted websites/demos/games can just install Chromium and experience the same as a Chrome user. No problem at all.

Yes. Why bother about a fragmented world wide web where standards are second class if the new MSIE is partially open-source?

Do you honestly not have a problem with that?
