Google Chromium gains native theming support on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux port of Chromium, the open source development version of Google's
| Chrome browser, now has a native theming mode that will make the browser
| adopt the icons and colors from a user's GTK+ theme.

Competition Spurs Innovation
,----[ Quote ]
| The opposite happens at the competition - Google Chrome wants to be an
| operating system. Actually it wants to be a browser geared to serve Google
| content, which happens to have an underlying operating system. It just can’t
| do without that minor requirement and still take complete control of what a
| user can or can’t do outside of the browser. Even though Chrome OS is
| apparently going to use a Linux kernel, it’s really going to be a Browser OS.
| Or is the terminal coming back in a more advanced form?

Epiphany - GNOME Web Browser Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Epiphany is usually the first choice for GNOME users who want to use a web
| browser which is lighter than Firefox and integrates well with GNOME. Of
| course, there are alternatives like Konqueror or Opera out there, but they
| are either too bloated compared to Epiphany, or they don't integrate very
| well with the GNOME desktop environment. Being the default web browser in
| GNOME and built using the GTK toolkit, Epiphany became over time a well-known
| web browser especially for the fact that it is lightweight and has a basic,
| clean interface.

Google Chrome 2
,----[ Quote ]
| You’ve probably seen many web sites saying, "Yeah! Chrome rocks! Fast!
| Speed-speed-speed! Woo-hoo!", provided with a bunch of benchmarks flexing
| it’s muscle, so to speak.
|
| Is Chrome fast? Yes, obviously. The fastest? No, that honor still belongs to
| Lynx and always will. Fastest GUI-based browser? Quite possibly.

Google Chrome As Smooth as Chrome on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I would say once Flash gets in into this Google Chrome pre releases then it
| will be something I will stick with on Linux. Once Google Chrome comes out to
| Linux and Mac the browser wars will really heat up, and I don’t think Chrome
| is going to melt.

Test-driving Chrome for Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, I’m impressed with Chrome so far. Its tiny resource footprint is
| likely to score big points with Linux geeks who like their machines to run as
| efficiently as possible, and with users seeking a more responsive browser
| than the mainstream offerings. The current lack of integration into Gnome
| and the inability to change search engines (not to mention most other
| preferences) is discouraging, but we should spare final judgement on these
| issues until Chrome’s Linux port becomes stable.

Google Chrome on Linux First Impressions and Screenshots
,----[ Quote ]
| So how unstable and incomplete is this developer version of Chrome? --At
| first, I didn't really notice its instability since it didn't crash on me.
| But upon checking my system stats, I found out that it is still
| (understandably) resource hungry as it is not efficient in utilizing RAM and
| CPU.

Chrome on Linux: Rough, fast & promising
,----[ Quote ]
| I'd been waiting for Chrome on Linux since Chrome first showed up. Chrome, if
| you haven't tried it, is the speed-demon of Web browsers. I love it. But,
| until now, there really wasn't a version that would run natively on Linux.
| Starting last night, June 4th, Google released developer's versions of Chrome
| for Macs and Linux. They're rough, really rough, but they're also really
| fast. Here's what I found in my first hours of working with Chrome on Linux.

Get your Google Chrome on in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| It is exciting to see such progress. I realize a lot of Linux users out there
| aren’t the biggest fans of Google. Those fans should at least give Chrome a
| try so they can see just what they will be missing. I have used Chrome on
| both Windows and Linux now and I can, without a doubt, the Linux version will
| blow away the Windows version. Of course from what I have seen the Linux
| version already is running better than the Windows version I used and I’m not
| supposed to be using the Linux version (It will probably install Windows on
| my machine while I am not looking.)
