There has been some talk about ubuntu here-- what is the best way to keep up to date with browsers on ubuntu (/linux).. there is no 'check for updates' within firefox, and the repositories are often out of date [1]
1. to be fair, i don't know about FF, i can't really complain that it might be a day out of date.. but chromium is way behind. Also what about living on the beta/aurora channels?
The Chromium package in Ubuntu is several major versions behind, and I would definitely not suggest using it. Debian has up-to-date versions in sid. Firefox on Ubuntu gets timely (within a couple days of upstream) updates, and the official Chrome PPA (from Google, installed when you use their .deb package) is kept up to date.
