Wait ... "nonfree browser" ... you mean chrome?

My understanding was that although binary distributed by google wasn't
free, because it includes various bells and whistles implemented with
non-free libraries (e.g. video decoding ...?), the guts of the browser
_is_ actually free software, and a completely free version of it
exists ("chromium", which is in debian) which simply omits the
non-free bells and whistles.  I've tried both, and didn't notice any
obvious difference between them, so I'm not really sure what exactly
the bells-and-whistles consists of...

I don't know how the difference between the free and non-free versions
affects plugins though...
