I hate chromium.
It acts like chrome because IT IS CHROME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minus the obvious branding and proprietary "Google-y bits" Unfortunately it's the same codebase.
At least Firefox at it's core truly differs.
And much more private, and you can make it more private by hardening it!
The only reason Chromium exists is because Google is bound by the original license when they bought it, which is copyleft. So they have to release an open source version, which is Chromium. Google Chrome is their flagship product and is proprietary and hence is the one that bears the Google branding and colours.
