Is the Chromium browser still being updated because I haven't updated for over a year and now I'm trying to play Angry Birds in my Chromium but my browser needs an update.
Also, the game is slow on microB and it gets stuck while loading the first stage:

Seriously, why are you trying to play the Chrome version of Angry Birds in a browser on your N900? It is barely playable on my netbook, there is no way it would be playable on the N900 even with an up-to-date version of Chromium. Now just head on over to the Ovi Store and download the proper version for the N900 if you want to play Angry Birds.

Iphone's browser is far from "full browsing". In Microb you can at least have a lot of flash sites slowly load, but load at least.
Im Microb you can even use Facebook chat and apps, watch YouTube videos (most of them) and basically anything you could do in a desktop computer with Flash 9 and without Java plugin...
AND, you can use a Stylus for non mobile-optimized pages, without having to zoom before, and with the virtual cursor you can highlight/hover and select/copy/paste really nicely.
You can have more "mobile-like" experience with Opera, and is still really nice and "almost" full browsing (I guess similar to an Android)... It also has a less useful version of a "virtual cursor".
If you want a "light" experience, you can try Macuco, it loads the Iphone-optimized pages by default and so it is slightly faster.
If you just want to check your gmail account, you can use MobWebMail (instead of Modest), its like a stripped-down and completely specific version of Macuco.
I think web browsing is much better than in Iphone, having used both of them...
And most important part is WE HAVE CHOICES! And they are all free and even many of them, open source.
I would also like to see news about Chromium for Maemo... I tried to compile a newer version once, but its Heavy.... And requires A LOT of things I was unable to gather. I have null knowledge of porting so... :S

I managed to get Chromium 14.0.813 working on maemo5 by using chromium buildbots arm snapshots and fiddling with few libraries. Unfortunately it is the "Chromium OS" version which means many things are buggy.
flash works after enabling it and browser it is much faster than microB.
in case someone is interested, compiled ARM binaries can be downloaded from:
http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/Arm/

which build of chrome did you test?

I fear a new Chromium would lose this 2 wonderful qualities.
