It said it was going to import the firefox bookmarks and passwords, but choked on the passwords. I have to get the real plugin working too, for the bbc iplayer, but so far so excellent. Thanks again @MaoP

Although I haven't downloaded the latest snapshot and tested that.. (I like waiting for the releases and not the daily snapshots). I'll def report on that when it does. And Chromium flash is very limited, I am only getting sound. Nope not in the latest build released.. Although I haven’t downloaded the latest snapshot and tested that..

About my previous comment, my point was that is better down Chromium since it has the last changes/features, Chrome is a snapshot from the last most stable Chromium commit with a sed "s/chromium/chrome" heh. About .deb packages: http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/ Now, i found there are better binaries, made by a "build bot" from Chromium. http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/ You just should do: cd ~/apps LAST=$(wget -qO- http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST) wget http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/$LAST/chrome-linux.zip unzip chrome-linux.zip then launch it $ ~/apps/chrome-linux/chrome Regards. @ben.kevan

Hello, sorry for delay.

About my previous comment, my point was that is better down Chromium since it has the last changes/features, Chrome is a snapshot from the last most stable Chromium commit with a sed “s/chromium/chrome” heh.

About .deb packages:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/

Now, i found there are better binaries, made by a “build bot” from Chromium.

http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/

You just should do:

cd ~/apps
LAST=$(wget -qO- http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST)
wget http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/$LAST/chrome-linux.zip
unzip chrome-linux.zip

then launch it

$ ~/apps/chrome-linux/chrome

Regards.

Especially the command at the end of the commercial to download Chrome now, LOL. If I wasnt internet savvy, I would not know what the hell they were talking about still. The lay person barely knows what a “browser” is when you ask them to open one. They just knowthe IE icon is how they get online.

If you'd like to point me to the correct single package for both i386 and x86_64 on the Ubuntu launch pad, I can build the snapshots rpm's for the people willing to take that risk (although every test with Alpha products is a risk eh). Thank you for your contribution, and hope you can point me to the exact builds so I can do as you suggest. @MaoP
