Google Chrome for Linux

I just installed Google Chrome for Linux yesterday, and decided to try it out. It's been bugging me lately that my application set in Linux (vim, svn, irssi, etc) are all snappy, and yet Firefox is still a little slow (even with most of my plugins shut off). I've been craving a faster browser, and some of the others just don't make the cut.

Thank you Google

I signed up for the Chrome release mailing list and got the email yesterday:

Hello everybody out there using Linux -

Google Chrome is go for beta on Linux! Thanks to the many Chromium and WebKit developers who helped make Google Chrome a lean, mean browsing machine. Here are a few fun facts from us on the Google Chrome for Linux team:

60,000 lines of Linux-specific code written
23 developer builds
2,713 Linux-specific bugs fixed
12 external committers and bug editors to the Google Chrome for Linux code base, 48 external code contributors

Thanks for waiting and we hope that you enjoy using Google Chrome!

Installed like a snap, and it sure is snappy. The developer tools are looking quite promising also...

Sorry Firefox, looks like Chrome may be here to stay...
