Asked by James

Can chromium for Ubuntu 12.04 please be updated to the latest version? I really think it would be a good idea since the current version is only 18 something

I suggest you report a bug, if there are significant bug fixes etc it will be updated sooner.

Every new version close a lot of security tickets
I think you should not wait for bug reports for updating

actionparship, the chromium-daily/stable PPA is out of date and still at version 18, so that's unfortunately not a solution. Thanks for the link anyway.

AFAIK, chromium 18 has various known security issues.

Built 21 weeks ago, you could contact the devs to see what the deal is with upkeep and such
