It is technically feasible to keep it working in a jessie environment, but each update has been more and more work. I expect that to continue. Anyway, if anyone would like to take this on (perhaps the LTS team?) please do so. You would need to either be a DD or have a regular sponsor for it to be practical. If that doesn't happen within about a month, I'll announce that security support for chromium in jessie has been discontinued. Best wishes, Mike
