Google's Chrome, Mozilla, Explorer, rendering engines: let the war begin
,----[ Quote ]
| If Chrome was conceived of as a Firefox killer, I keep asking myself why
| Google has just renewed and extended a deal with Mozilla for another three
| years. Hardly an action consistent with trying to kill off Mozilla’s love
| child. Hell, for that kind of money Google can “kill” my product anytime!
| Again, Google won’t be trying to take over Mozilla as it is a for non-profit
| organisation and cannot be “bought”, so it makes sense to fund Mozilla in
| order to promote the primacy of the search engine.

Chrome's primary target is Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| But an Ovum analyst thinks Microsoft has more to worry about than Mozilla.
|
| Laurent Lachal, senior analyst at Ovum said in a statement that the challenge
| Chrome brings to Microsoft is two-fold: it not only threatens Microsoft
| Internet Explorer's market share, but also seeks to overturn the way people
| work with applications.

Chrome was announced prematurely due to a leak. It's possible that the
GNU/Linux version was supposed to be available on launch day.

| Soon after they announced, I'd been hoping to take Google Chrome for a test
| drive. The comic book laid out a lot of interesting things, my favorite being
| the discussion of separate processes leading to detachable (and "retachable")
| browser tabs, something I have been touting for years as a long term Galeon
| user. My big problem though? I run Linux, and Google has so far left Linux
| support on the back burner. Still, I figured that someone had probably made a
| Linux build available by now, so inspired by John McCain's speech on TV
| tonight, I set about seeing if I could get it set up.

A Linux users' guide to Google Chrome
,----[ Quote ]
| Today, I’ll show you how to obtain and build the Linux source. A heads up:
| you won’t be Chroming after this, Google haven’t finished porting it to Linux
| and I’m certainly not smarter than the Google engineers and have no magic
| fix.

Chromium Build Instructions?

Chromium - Open Source Chrome
,----[ Quote ]
| As you might have noticed from our Google Chrome coverage, we're pretty
| excited about the potential -- even if it hasn't lived up to everyone's
| expectations. Much of that potential is tied-up in the architecture used to
| create Chome. As Google continued to reiterate during yesterday's webcast,
| Chrome is open source.
