[Solar-general] Crece el uso de Chrome

Mar Nov 10 22:50:44 CET 2009

aca lo estuve usando (chromium-browser, la version libre) por varios días, 
aprox una semana, y la verdad anda muy 
bien, más rápido que firefox para varias cosas, etc.

de a poco, cuando pienso en abrir un browser, chromium se me aparece primero 
como idea, luego galeón, que anda super bien, y firefox lo tengo ahí por los 
plugins y porque lo quiero ;)

Google Chrome (alpha) - fastest browser for Debian

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. That is, out of the box includes Chrome's default 
theme, and the GTK theme which uses GTK buttons where possible, and uses the 
theme colors for Chrome-style widgets. On the screenshot, you can see how it 
looks with Debian-colored Clearlooks. Also, here's a shot of the default 
theme.

(Update 5:51PM, CET: I didn't figure out there's a way to actually turn off 
the system window borders. There is. Wooo! Chrome is awesome.)

Most of the UI is GTK based - menus, configuration options, etc.

Dragging tabs around works nicely, just as under Windows; even transparency, 
if you have a compositing window manager such as Compiz. (Hint: KWin and 
Metacity also include compositing; I'm not sure where to turn it on for 
Metacity in the GUI, but it has a command line option "-c".)

Google's warning: Unless you're a developer and can suffer crashes, as well as 
able to suffer lack of privacy features, don't download and use this. It's a 
developer's preview only.

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.
