The problem is there are a bajillion build options that your distro may or may not enable when building Chromium, which will be different than what Google uses when it builds Chrome, because there are so many of them. And many of the flags that Google uses are different from the default values in Chromium. They have a flag you need to pass to enable the Hangouts extension, which I believe Ubuntu doesn't use; the only effect of not enabling that flag is that Google Hangouts doesn't work. There are multiple flags for the proprietary EME crap; I bet those are needed for Netflixing. I think WebRTC might still be disabled by default in Chromium (not sure). Most of the multimedia codecs are stripped out of the Fedora Chromium package for legal reasons, so if you care about that you need Chrome.

Chrome has the goodies.
