I do this often, mostly because either/or are so unstable, general internet use tends to crash it pretty often.
I use a voip service (switch.co), that I cannot have crash randomly with some stupid video that decides to blast flash stupidity or invasive script at it tends to. Therefore I install the chrome app on both, but launch some apps under chrome, while I use chromium for general internet stuff so if it does pop, I don't lose a call. Especially when just downloading something tends to crash Chromium these days.
Biggest issue I find is that I now have 3 profiles, on each chrom*, that launch independent memory space for each tab, each liking to load a few hundred local libraries each, consuming obscene gobs of memory for each. Suddenly between chrome AND chromium, chews up a good 12gb of ram at times with an factoral explosion of resources. I had to increase my open file handler limits to some obscene limits due to its... consumption, and I still think it's the bain of my system evils.
Switch, hangouts, and other things like that are all gapps I'm now enslaved to, why I put 32gb of ram in my systems if at all possible. Chrom* doesn't seem to be intent on becoming any less piggish anytime soon.
I also had to recreate the "chrome apps" menu folder in the windows manager as syncing the apps with profiles, both import all extensions/apps automagically, recreating shortcuts, and being not good enough to tell me which browser the same apps on both represent to open them on only one. I wish I could use only one...

On my Linux Mint 17 system, the chromium browser was installed by default
and it has seemed to work well for most things ... but I've been getting
messages from Google that read: "This version of Chrome is no longer
supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser."
So is it safe and prudent to install the Chrome browser to replace
chromium? I seem to remember reading a while back that there were
problems with running the Chrome browser on Linux.
Please advise what to do.
