Great Job, Thank You

[MyrddinE]

I have an older laptop that I put Ubuntu on. My automatic choice for
browser was Firefox, and it was fine... but I use a lot of javascript
heavy pages, like Google Docs, and Firefox was straining under the
load on my old processor. So I looked into Chrome (my preferred
Windows browser), and found Chromium (which I had never tried). A
quick apt-get later and it was installed, and it ran far smoother than
I had anticipated. The improvement over Firefox, even for regular
pages, was marked; the improvement on Google Spreadsheets was
dramatic.

I'm just here to say thank you. Good job, I really appreciate the work
you've done behind the scenes for Chrome, and directly for me now in
Linux with Chromium.

Just make sure you (manually) update Chromium. It does not have an automatic update mechanism, so security risks can exist if you do not update your version every week or so.

Also, I hope you know it is much less stable than Google Chrome.

Or switch to the regular Chrome for Linux, which does auto-update. This link will take you there:

When is Canary going to be available for Linux distributions?

I am aware of the difference between development and stable releases. :-) I wasn't aware that Chromium doesn't auto-update, but the auto-update features of Ubuntu itself should cover me in this particular case.

yes, auto update on ubuntu updates it afik ... you just need to set ubuntu to download updates everyday ;)

Since I am running Ubuntu 10.04 myself on one of my older computers
let me clear some of the dust here...

Ubuntu includes Chromium in their repositories and they are releasing
regular updates in the same timeframe as Google does for Chrome.

That only holds true if you use the latest bleeding edge builds of
Chromium. Ubuntu includes the exactly same build versions of Chromium
as Google releases with Chrome.

You don't need to, see above. Ubuntu keeps Chromium up to date in
their own repository.

Ubuntu does this out of the box.

I keep forgetting about the fact that Linux distributions distribute Chromium as Chromium and not as something more distinguishable.

Thank you for reminding me.

Yeah, Ubuntium would be much better. ;-)
