"However the difference is Chrome updates are transparent."

Updating is one of the reasons I prefer Chromium to Chrome. As it happens, updating is also the killer-app of free software distributions, which I prefer to proprietary ones.

Windows 8 and OS X ng++ will try to catch up, but I sincerely doubt they'll mirror as well as the most popular free distributions do.

I run Chrome on Debian, and I choose when to update it, since Google provides(conveniently) a repository.
