Chromium is fine I've been using it daily for a while, you could also install the google chrome package which will setup an extra /etc/apt/sources.d/ file pointing to the google chrome repo, then google chrome is just an apt-get update& upgrade away. I think both can be started in kiosk mode so i guess you could have an X session starting the browser up automatically.
What would be the bare minimum I'd need in order for Chromium/Chrome to function though? My starting point is a server install without a GUI (no Gnome/KDE/X), and I'll obviously need a minimal GUI in order for any of these options to work, but I'd like to keep it as minimal as I can.
Out of curiosity I tried "sudo apt-get install firefox" to see what dependencies it dragged in but unsurprisingly it was going to pull in a full gnome install.
