I had some more ideas, but they have fled since I wrote that.

Well, I installed Google Chrome before the chromium project started, and 
it is what I use.  It works well, though, of course, some web sites make 
things very difficult by relying on IE6 and Windows behavior, but that 
is improving.

I would try (in your situation) chromium if I had a Sid system. 
However, chromium is in a beta state, and Google just released Chrome 
5.0 Stable for Linux.  So, I guess, I would pick either one.

Good luck.
