Hi,

Thanks for spending the time to try and make ubuntu better.
Could you check if chromium is the defult browser in: System - Preferences - Prefered Applications?

With it set to Chromium in there Gwibber seems to works fine for me. Let me know if this doesn't work.

no, Chromium was my favorite browser and it doesn't work with Gwibber.

the only thing is, that if i choose Chromium from dropdown in prefered apps, Chromium says it isn't tzhe default browser and sets the prefered app to "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser %s"

but that can't be the problem because even with firefox as default, Gwibber uses Opera instead
