Why I dumped Debian Squeeze’s Chromium for the Chrome browser from Google’s repository

cj2003 — Mon, 23 May 2011 16:27:10 +0000

I’ve always been an advocate for using the packages supplied by the distribution/project you happen to be running as an OS. Rarely do I go outside the “official” repositories for something shinier and newer. That’s changing, and swapping the Chromium browser in Debian Squeeze for the Google Chrome browser directly from Google is my latest shift in this direction. More here

Chrome on Debian

I just installed google chrome on Debian. It’s really awesome that I can’t believe my eyes at first! I found that most sites I visited usually are well displayed in the layout. More here

And the fonts in it are much better than in my iceweasel. From the screenshots down below, I can say that no one could tell I’m using Debian instead of Windows xp! Although the linux version of Chrome has been released for a while, I told myself that iceweasel is good enough with my collection of add-ons and Chrome is just another beautiful and fancy browser which doesn’t have much more practical value in everyday use.

Google Chrome (alpha) – fastest browser for Debian

cj2003 — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:56:28 +0000

I’ve just tested Google Chrome for Linux on my Debian machine. It has a nice theming feature, currently apparently suitable and used for making Chrome look native. More here

But seeing how great this browser already became (being significantly faster feeling than Iceweasel/Firefox on Linux, at least the 3.0 series) I’m getting great, great vibes for this browser’s future on GNU/Linux.

Chrome on Linux: Rough, fast & promising

cj2003 — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:20:50 +0000

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. More here

So use Chrome on Linux now? No, forget about it. But, you can bet I’m looking forward to using it on a daily basis on my Linux systems when it goes fina–whenever that will be! Google, as usual, isn’t talking. Come that day, Firefox 3.5, which was recently delayed, will be in for some real competition.

Google debuts Chrome for Mac, Linux

cj2003 — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:18:26 +0000

Google released Chrome for Mac OS X and Linux Thursday–but only in rough developer preview versions that the company warns are works in progress. More here

Not everyone can try the Mac and Linux versions, though. Google spokesman Eitan Bencuya said the Linux version is supported only the Debian and Ubuntu incarnations of Linux, and the Mac OS X version only works on Intel-based Macs.
