Updates are a tricky problem.  I expect on FreeBSD some of the
Linux-specific hacks we made in Chromium for updates aren't
implemented.

You can read more details here (imagine FreeBSD in place of "Linux" in
the post):

I believe there are pieces of Chromium that *don't* go through the
preforked helper, for complicated reasons related to the sandbox; I
expect those to be especially problematic on updates.
