Re: [GNU-linux-libre] Status of google chrome and chromium

      Possibilities include:

    * Google Chrome includes support for video codecs that Google has
    obtained patent licenses for, and that support is either not included
    with Google Chromium, or not included by default during the build
    process.

Making such statements is counterproductive.  This could sound like an
advantage of Chrome if it gets repeated to people who are not free
software supporters.

But since this is all guessing anyway, it is a bad idea.  Please just
say that they are two different programs, perhaps very different.
People should be careful not to assume anything about Chrome based
on knowledge about Chromium.
