Who should use alpha-status Chromium on Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| We all owe a debt of gratitude to Mozilla and Firefox. Firefox effectively
| paved the way for competition in the browser monopoly scenario we had a few
| years back. Without it, I doubt web applications development would have
| advanced the way it did.
|
| But I seriously abhor using Firefox right now. On my Kubuntu Jaunty laptop,
| my CPU utilization bottom-lines at 5-10% on average before firing up Firefox
| and shoots up to 30-40% after. Its memory issues are well-documented. Typing
| a URL in the address bar the first time after starting up causes the entire
| browser to freeze while it pulls up the address history. There have been
| experiments that show the Windows version of Firefox running faster on Wine
| than the native Linux versions.

Testing Google Chrome Alpha: Test #1 - Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Editor’s note: We have a special installment for MakeUseOf readers who happen
| to be Chrome fans. We are reviewing the alpha build of Chrome for both Linux
| and Mac today. Watch out for the Mac edition later on.
|
| For those Linux users who have been waiting hard and long for the release of
| Google Chrome Linux Alpha, there are both a good and bad news for you. The
| bad news is, Google Chrome for Linux is still not available yet. The good
| news however, the alpha build is now available for testing, which could be a
| joy for some Linux geeks.

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.)
