On Debian Chromium 33.0.1750.152-1 seems to be using GnuTLS, I didn't know that the official Chrome used NSS:

  $ ldd /usr/lib/chromium/chromium|grep -E tls\|ssl
        libgnutls.so.28 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.28 (0x00007fbae0878000)

In fact on Debian most client software is using either NSS or GnuTLS, OpenSSL is more popular server-side of course.

Due to (mostly ideological) licensing incompatibilities some package maintainers and/or distributions link software with GnuTLS instead op OpenSSL. GnuTLS provides a basic compatibility layer with OpenSSL.

So Chromium may in fact be programmed against OpenSSL but might work when linked to GnuTLS
