   Hi root,   
      
   no, I've been using S15 since February 8, 2022.  (Not recent unless you are   
   a geologist. ;-)   
      
   My reasons for using chromium (as opposed to chrome) are now mostly lost in   
   the depths of time, but I have a vague recollection about chromium not   
   tracking you to the same degree as chrome does.  While I don't have any   
   major secrets I'm hiding from google, they don't need to know everything   
   about me, either.   
      
   (And yes, I realize that Alien Bob has a package which is more de-googled,   
   and perhaps I should be using that.)   
      
   Cheers.   
      
                                   Jim
