How is safari for iOS ?
That's technically correct. Chrome isn't open source, but Chromium is. Chrome is Chromium, with some Google branding and tracking.
I've just now installed Chromium 45.0.2413.0; however it appears that unlike Chrome, one needs to manually run a batch script to "automatically" install stable updates. (I tried Chocolatey with many challenges; for now I'll simply manually install stable Chromium releases as they occur.)
Chromium isn't all that great on Windows: you're better off just using Chrome, because like you said, Chromium doesn't update automatically. There are no central Chromium update servers, though iirc there is an automatic Jenkins build somewhere.
I use Chromium on Linux, where updating is a lot more centralized, so it's not an issue.

If you want to have a fast brower without any pre-installed extensions go for a clean chromium build. It's not very comfy all things considered, as you have to take care of most things yourself. If in need for a more comfortable browser, but slightly outperformed by most Chromium builds, go for a Firefox fork like Waterfox or Cyberfox; both viable options.
Generally, it's like a condom, try it out, if it fits, great, if not, throw it in the can and try another size. There's not a best browser for every need, and even when only facing two different weighted options you're in for a headache when deciding.
For me it's Cyberfox, because Privacy = Customizability > Stability > Speed. My internet connection's the bottleneck, anyways.
By the way: when using browser extensions like adblock, never cleaning the cache, always having a full history, not deleting cookies, a "better" browser shouldn't be the first attention. I've read many "reviews" by people comparing a three year old installation of Firefox to a new installation of a Chromium build. As it is with every piece of software, software ages. So if you're suddenly getting lags, you should either take a look at your hardware, or invest a few minutes in locating and taking care of the usual subjects.

With Firefox there is some problem ( at least on Win7 platform ). Overtime it slows down, there is a terrible lag between the mouse move and the move actually appearing on the board ( not server lag, but local! ). It seems to be waisting resources, something is leaking there. ( I have the latest version of Firefox. )
With Chrome it is stable. I also recommend turning off move animation, because it makes it faster.

#17 same here. Win 7 (Intel HD Graphics 3000), latest Firefox, performs bad. No problems with Chrome.
