Chrome For Linux?


Not yet; at least not any official native release by Google that we know about. But if you would really like to try out chrome without the hassle of having to install MS windows in a virtual machine, try out Crossover Chromium. This is not a native port of chrome for linux, but a package installer to be used with wine embedded. Also, this is nowhere close to being as stable as it is under windows and as rightfully pointed out by the developers; this is essentially a proof of concept to show Wine’s capabilities of running native windows application. Packages are available for debian and RPM based linux systems; Mac OS build is also available. Have Fun.

    Correction: the Crossover Chromium installer isn’t “to be used with wine”,
    it includes an embedded copy of Wine that is isolated from your system’s
    Wine (if any). You never need to know or care about Wine to use this package.
