Chromium on Linux

Want to try google chrome on linux? Some people has experience success installing google chrome on linux using wine and several other trick. But, what if you have apply those trick with no success? Pretty much like my experience. Don't know what is wrong with my system:(.

If you have those experience too, but still want to install chrome? Don't worry, expert engineer at CodeWeavers has managed to port it to linux using *ehm* wine and packaged it using linux's popular package format. There is deb, rpm, and .sh installer. Hmm... wine... so, what's the special with this one?

Aha, thank you for asking. You know, several people who try to install google chrome in linux has encountered an unstable and non SSL experience. But, with this one you can surf https easily. I don't know how stable it is, since it's just an hour testing.
