include a working chromium build
Sadly there is no chromium for armel wheezy at the moment. Building chromium is not trivial.
chromium memory hungry or not is essential for modern websites to display correctly mindori fails on a few sites and the other options don't support some web browser addon's. either. so chromium all the way please worked great under debian.
ok i get that , i still think it would be found wanting on the 256mb RAM the pi has unless it was built from scratch with many features stripped out , and like the other poster said it would take a LOT of man hours to do just that. firefox displays most websites correctly and in my experience uses less RAM than chromium. so i wouldnt say chromium is an essential partof any distro.
fair comment i just like chromium it looks nice and had less hangups than Firefox with wheezy ill have to try Firefox first
hi dude i hear what your saying but it ran fine under Debian 6 so why can't it run under wheezy 7 i don't see any difference.

hmm are u saying it ran well on ur raspberry pi using debian 6 or on your pc ? if it ran fine for you on the pi then yes theres no reason why it shouldnt on wheezy. suprising as on my laptop with debian 6.0 5 with 512 mb ram it conusumes between 350/400 mb with no add ons ,im sure u could add a PPA to sources to get it , here is the PPA for FX stable , good luck. To install this PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
Chromium is working fine for me based on recent installs with apt-get. This is on Pi v1 and v2.
