Chromium on Linux progressing, screenshots inside
You'll need to add repositories, of course. They are (substitute jaunty or hardy if needed):
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid mainOnce they've been added, running sudo apt-get install chromium-browser in a terminal window will take care of the rest. After the package has finished installing, just type chromium-browser [enter] to fire it up.
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
While it's still in its early stages, Chromium on Linux runs as it does on Windows - fast and smooth. Some important features aren't working yet, like the tab and bookmarks bars and options menu, but nearly everything else is. Incognito, history, download manager, and the new tab view are all functional, and every web page I tested rendered beautifully - and fast.
Check the gallery after the break for screenshots from my CrunchBang install.

I read about chrome many bad things. I think better to use firefox or opera browsers. I download them use http://rapid4me.com this search engine about rapidshare, you may download it from official sites. I think install chrome it is bad idea.

When I try and go to a page other than "about:linux-splash" it crashes. I get the following error:
[1758:1758:45305490791:FATAL:app/chrome_dll_main.cc(171)] Gdk: gdk_window_set_cursor: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
Trace/breakpoint trap
Also, whenever I move the mouse I see in the terminal window:
[1764:1765:45263098287:ERROR:renderer/renderer_logging_linux.cc(16)] Not implemented reached in void renderer_logging::SetActiveRendererURL(const GURL&)

Just update your system, the latest build supports switching between tabs, I love it after the whole mess be somewhat broken since last week, what with not being able to type anything into the address bar lest it crash. There are of course a lot of things still missing though. but this got me back and browsing better than ever.
Best of all it still scores 100% on Acid3

Dude, this is not the official Google release. This is the open source chromium based browser released by the ppa enthusiasts.

I'd like to see Chrome for Linux broken into a browser and a window manager. Why only show browser windows as tabs?
