Hello!
Chromium is OK, but doean't have the Widevine plugin, so I need Chrome to do Netflix without the netflix-desktop hack. Therefore, I keep a copy of 32-bit Chrome around, but I only use it to watch Netflix. Besides, I don't do anything critical, like finances, on that machine anyway.
The Arch and Slackware communties have had the Widevine plugin working in Chromium for some time, but it still hasn't made its way to the 'buntus yet. It's just as well they discontinued Linux 32-bit Chrome, I suppose.
On a 32-bit machine, or on any machine with under 4GB of RAM, Netflix seems to struggle anyway. It's gotten so bad that as of late, I've used PlayOn with the Windoze box to record the stuff for offline viewing...
