Well, I'm sure you're right that they won't be running my build. The idea was that this is an open source project, that I built following the instructions of the project. Others seem plausibly likely to go down that path. Certainly the distributions will or are (or that's where they started).

> I think it was somewhat unfair and unbalanced

This I don't see. I'm sorry you didn't like the article, that obviously wasn't my intent, but I clearly explained what I did and what resulted, so how that can be "unfair and unbalanced" I don't quite follow.

My point is that this is a project that free software folks might want to build, and they will find the experience to be less than optimum if they do so. Google is welcome to focus on Chrome, and deliver a great experience with that, but it simply isn't interesting to me (and, I think, at least some readers). The vast majority of the world isn't going to end up on this article because they have no idea that Chromium even exists, they will be looking for Chrome information. If they do, and get confused, I guess I'm sorry about that, but am not sure what I could have done differently. That confusion is partly because of the naming that Google chose, of course.
