Here is how I handle this very same situation,
1. Iceweasel & Opera,
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ squeeze non-free
2. Chromium - just download the google-chrome stable .deb from
google.com, it then automatically keeps up to date via
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome-list, which contains,
### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
Good luck,
