Chrome 53 Beta Brings Shadow DOM, Deprecates HTTP/0.9

WTF are you talking about? I'm using 52 right now.

apt update from the shell doesn't notify any updates on chromium.... repository problems?

Ah, Chromium and Chrome are not the same.

Chromium is usually managed by your distro, so you have to wait for Ubuntu to package it or something like that (if they want to). Usually after security problems are made public, it is rather urgent that they update it.

When installing Chrome, apt-get will ping Google's repositories for new version of Chrome, so Ubuntu has nothing to do with it.

Chromium 52 is in Ubuntu's "chromium security patch testing" ppa https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chr...e/ubuntu/stage
since 6th of this month, as the ppa description says, it's likely to land in Ubuntu soon. Otherwise you can always add the ppa but be sure you read and understood the ppa's description
"Testing site just before upload to Ubuntu main. Things here are either new and broken and not ready to use, or landing in the distro anyway in a few days. You shouldn't use this unless asked to."

thanks for explanation. In fact I wonder about this discrepancy

So maybe you meant *UBUNTU* and NOT Linux.

Lol, Ubuntu is like 'Murrica. All world is 'Murrica.

Haha this made me giggle... and maybe also shed a tear. Although, Ubuntu is still better than Windows, providing that I don't have to use Unity.

Yeah, I always assume that random people talking of "linux" on their PC are in fact talking of Ubuntu or one of its flavors, as it happens to be the case most of the times, lol.
