The Synopses and Descriptions section of the manual says "Please avoid
marketing phrases" and "try to be factual, mentioning use cases and
features". I think we should also avoid "anti-marketing" language.
Why not keep it simple and say something like this:
"Chromium is a graphical web browser. This package omits the FOO, BAR,
and BAZ features in order to help protect the user's privacy."
The IceCat description is similarly terse.
