It looks like chromium used the same user agent as chrome.

However, the ua parser we have reports chromium in the case of the user agent string listed above, which, we don't look for because we expected it to just be chrome.

I need to figure out what's different, and why in some cases chromium is not just chrome, and if there is a good reason to simply add chromium to the list.

If you look here: http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Chrome/

Search for Chromium, and you'll find they all say Ubuntu.

It looks like Ubuntu changes the Chromium user agents.

I say just add Chromium to the list.

Needs to be verified once it is on production.
