I've been using Chrome with Adobe's Flash plugin enabled on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 9.04 for nearly a month now via the Ubuntu "Personal Packages Archive"(PPA) for "chromium-daily" and it works fine. The great thing about using this method is that you get the near-daily build of chrome included with your daily updates so you will always have the newest and "most refined" development version. Note: you will want to have the Flash plugin already installed (e.g., for Firefox) to be able to use it with Chrome. If you don't have the flashplugin yet, you can easily install it by running this terminal command while connected to the Internet: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree To setup the Chromium Web Browser with Flash plugin enabled, see this awesome article: http://linuxologist.com/apps/howto-chromium-browser-on-linux-with-flash Finally, if you also want to have the latest Firefox 3.5 on your Ubuntu 9.04 - checkout this article: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Install_Firefox_3_5RC2_in_Ubuntu_Jaunty_Intrepid_Hardy_etc Congratulations on your GNU/Linux Freedom!

Chrome _does_ do "phishing site checks, security checks, enabling [capabilities] based on site contents", and the extensions system is also partly running (enough to install various extensions). And none of these slow it down. Also, Chrome is not a "version 1 product", though I question what that even means; the stable version number is 2.0.172.30 and the trunk is at 3.0.184.0. But who cares about version numbers? The issue of sites only working with IE has long been a pain point of all non-IE browsers and is mostly caused by web authors writing their sites to only work in IE. That isn't Chrome's fault.

Blazing fast with each thread sandboxed so you could kill one thread if it hanged without killing your whole browser. I liked the interface too. Counting the days until it's released on Mac and then I can say goodbye to Firefox (which is good browser too). I loved chrome on PC.
