Is there a quick summary of what major site/features that will be unavailable in Chromium vs. Chrome? I assume, for example, that 'netflix' will be prominently on that list. Thanks.

I use Chromium; you can still Netflix. It does, however, require installation of "WideVine", which is an opaque, closed, binary blob. (But you're getting that with Chrome, too, I believe.)

You can also do Netflix in Firefox, through exactly the same mechanism.

    It's somewhat better on Firefox because they run the binary blobs in a sandbox.
