I understand Debian's trademark issues in that only Mozilla Foundation authed
versions can carry the Firefox brand, this is extremely restrictive in terms
of bugfixes which Debian highly prize as one of their winning features.

Debian's reaction is over the top, but Mozilla Foundation's reaction was a
little stupid.

Chromium is a definte competitor for the Linux browser crown. Google did 
design it to be portable as possible, but pushed it through for a quick
release due to the MS hype-engine powering up about IE8.
