As we are talking about Chromium, now I'll show you how to keep it updated if you use Debian o Ubuntu through a PPA.
Table of Contents
For Ubuntu.
To keep updated Chromium en Ubuntu we follow these steps:
We open a terminal and put:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E5E17B5
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install chromium-browser chromium-browser-l10n
For Debian:
This method can also be used in Ubuntu and I particularly like it better. What we do is add to the file / Etc / apt / sources.list the following line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu <lucid, maverick, natty, oneric> main
In the case of Ubuntu, you have to choose which version you use from the 4 available. In my case with Debian Testing, I put Lucid and it worked perfectly. Then in the terminal:
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E5E17B5
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install chromium-browser chromium-browser-l10n
This will be enough to keep us updated .. ^^

HAHAHAJAJAJA, in the end you got away with it, now you can have the latest of the latest from Chromium, congratulations, persevere to achieve goals.
Hahahaha yeah. That's right .. Thanks for everything ..
Doesn't using a PPA in Debian affect the system? Some time ago I read on a website that it was not advisable to use PPAs in Debian.
What do you advise .. stable or daily?
Personally, I would recommend stable 😉
Well, I had to put in the daily because it had not synchronized the google account in chromium for a few days
Wow I finally found a way to install chromium (A version other than Chromium 6)
Thanks a lot! I have a question. Will Chromium update automatically with this?
