Issue description
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/65.0.3325.181 Chrome/65.0.3325.181 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. type "foo bar" in the address bar
2.
3.
What is the expected behavior?
My default search is configured to {google:baseURL}search?q=%s, so the search url should be (if my location is in France)
https://www.google.fr/search?q=foo+bar
What went wrong?
The final search url is:
https://www.google.fr/search?q=foo+bar&client=ubuntu
On Chromium, either the default Google search or a custom one like {google:baseURL}search?q=%s always adds "&client=ubuntu" in the final search url
Did this work before? N/A
Chrome version: 65.0.3325.181 Channel: stable
OS Version: Lubuntu 17.10
Flash Version:
This doesn't happen with google-chrome browser, only with chromium-browser

As per comment#0 from the reporter, considering this as Feature request and marking it as untriaged. Thanks!

This is surprising, as that shouldn't happen unless {google:searchClient} appears in the default search template URL.
However, I believe that this an issue with how your Linux distributor is packaging Chromium. I can't reproduce this issue in Chromium on my (non-Ubuntu) distribution and, as you note, the official Chrome build does not do this.
