    Google Chrome for Linux?

    Google is apparently trying to port Chrome over to linux. LOL


    Considering how bad this browser sucks I think google should keep it on Windows because I don't think that the Linux community is ready for something that is more unstable than Internet Explorer.

    Sounds like Google's official "Here, you guys fix this"
    She sells C Shells by the sea shore.

    It doesn't matter how stable or unstable is at the moment. It has the fastest rendering engine, it is relatively light thanks to webkit and has this great "multi-threading" thing that prevents a tab from crashing the whole browser. It will become great once more bugs are closed and more importantly, creates a community that makes useful add-ons for it.

    I don't think I'll bother with it but I did welcome another browser to the party. It brings a greater awareness of choice to the picture. I'm still occasionally finding people who can't even conceive of using something other than IE .

    As for Webkit/KHTML: It's a great engine. It looks good and is fast. I'd probably be using it in Konqueror but there are a few things in Konqueror that kinda irk me. It's probably just me being set in my ways though

    Relatively light? It's 52.51mb. Opera 10 is like 7.10mb. Google Chrome is only fast at rendering javascript. Hell, even IE 6 runs faster than Chrome.

    Dillo is fast, but I'd put Links-graphics up against it for speed any day...

    Konqueror is the fastest browser for Linux and Opera is the fastest for Windows.
