Google Chrome in Ubuntu 8.10

Popularity Google Chrome is definitely increasing, although so far it is only available for Windows OS and Linux and Mac users await the launch of Google Chrome for Linux and Mac OS. And the good news is Google Chrome is now available for Linux OS users.

This browser's status is still the name of Pre alpha browser Chromium, an open source engine behind Google Chrome project. Chromium for Linux have facilities-based interface GTS (mediator) and the appearance of work such as the Windows interface.

Because the status is still pre Alpha, chromium for linux this does not have many features that are important such as a bookmark manager, tab, and not in the trial and may not be functioning at all, but the PPA provides instructions to install.

Here some description from Launcpad.net

Ubuntu daily builds of the Chromium browser.
The PPA is maintained by a bot, so it contains completely untested builds, mostly useful to track regressions or if you are curious, or just brave.

The package is still a work-in-progress, so is Chromium, please be patient.

FAQ:
* no native 64bit debs planed for now. The amd64 package is using ia32-libs.
* if it crashes, you can get a proper backtrace from gdb by installing the -dbg package
