One key missing functionality in chromium is extensibility via browser extensions or user scripts, damn useful in particular for blocking ads.
Although the support is there in the dev channel, it had been not available in the ppa binary debs for a while, but about ~2days ago user scripts started working ... yAY!! \o/
- To the point:
dpkg -l chromium-browser # version: 3.0.183.0~svn200905 Chromium browser
mkdir $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/User\ Scripts # yep, nasty white space :P
cd $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/User\ Scripts
wget http://www.adsweep.org/AdSweep.user.js # ala adblock
# ... and then start chromium as:
chromium-browser --enable-user-scripts
To confirm you have it enabled, visit http://www.adsweep.org/ && you'll see a red status line, up-right, with the adsweep script version.

Where do you learn about all these things?
No actual specific blog or similar, just driven by the fact that I've switched to chromium as my ~primary browser, thus the motivation to find|mimic those cool firefox features.
