My problem with iridium is that it is based on an older version of chromium and I am not sure that they keep up with inevitable flow of security fixes. That said, I am a bit nervous about OpenBSD's lags in keeping up with browser security fixes. (I'm not criticizing -- I understand that OpenBSD is a small operation without the people needed to keep track of non-core packages. And I just converted from Arch Linux, in which the storm of updates and resulting incompatibilities drove me crazy and contributed to my shift to OpenBSD. Still, I am a bit nervous about even slightly out-of-date browsers at this point and I am not sure that iridium is an improvement in this regard.)
