I'm currently using Google Chrome. It was a little tricky setting up flash and I'm having to live without printing until the Browser matures. However, it easily imported ALL Firefox bookmarks and smart short cuts during install, it is faster than ANY browser I have ever used, and ITS THE ONLY BROWSER AVAILABLE ON LINUX THAT CORRECTLY RESIZES IMAGES. Try it on Dilbert.com or other sites where you may want to see the images bigger. Its a huge improvement over Firefox, Epiphany, or even Opera in this regard.

I have to say I was pleased by the fact it works on systems using HTTP proxy - which was not working for me using wine version. So for me big +1.
And honestly - it is fast. It is damn fast. I guess it is so big difference because in linux Firefox was always kind of slower than his Windows counterpart.

That's pretty crazy it would seem that a company like Google would not release software like that.

Just got it on Ubuntu. Hasn't crashed so far. Went to ChromeExperiments.com, and all those javascript-heavy experiments run like a charm :D

Glad I finally have Chrome, I only ever use Linux and Mac, and as a web designer, its important to be able to test in all the browsers.

Mmm...full of bugs, crash prone and no YouTube.. sign me up now!!
Seriously Chrome is a good browser with some great features, but it would take an awful lot to drag me away from my trusty FireFox

Chormium is gaining momentum. Eventhough at first i did not like it but now i began to like it due to its fastness

Using the Linux version right now. Very, very fast. Didn't crash so far. Font rendering is poor, but I think this is the only drawback I can see right now. Looks very promising.

Been using Chromium on the Mac for a few weeks now. Aside from the notable absence of Flash it's really, really fast and I haven't had an "Aw, snap!" crash yet (fingers crossed).

Every start is hard. I think that eventually Chrome will become a browser of choice for many Linux and Macintosh users. (Second choice is also a choice :-) )

If it had smooth scroll I would really consider to give it a try.
Sorry, but the corrent hard scroll just kills me, altrough the browser itself looks good enough to be an alternative.

I’ve played briefly with Chrome on a Windows machine recently, and I was very impressed with the package. Although Crossover Chromium delivers a similar feature set, by not being a truly native Mac application, it suffers from an issue you occasionally see in Linux installs: font issues.

"Developmental" (in bold) is wrong. It should be "development".

I have been using the Linux Chromium alpha for a couple of months. It has improved *hugely*. The first build I installed could barely read Chromium's online help files without crashing and couldn't see any other sites without failing. Now, it can handle pretty much anything except flash and has no plugins I can see. It will almost certainly fail in some way within about 15 minutes, but that is good enough for most of my casual browsing. I use it mainly if I need another Gmail account / app open. After all, you can only login to one Google ID with each browser......and I frequently require 3 or more open at the same time......and Chromium does this job tolerably well....

Chromium is incredible much more faster in this moment and...and nothing more! :) It's junk for now but maybe in time will be OK. Anyway, i have no reason to use Chromium. Not now and not even in the future.
