A Quick Guide To Google Chrome

August 2, 2011, 19:53(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Google’s Chrome browser has become the darling of many Geeks and Tech pundits lately.
I thought I would post a quick guide for you.

Extensions

Chromium
Chromium is the base that Chrome is built from. It is considered “experimental” or “bleeding edge” and is updated often (sometimes more than once a day)

The latest versions are here: http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/

Latest Windows version: http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/Win/?C=M;O=D

openSUSE – Go here and add the appropriate repo: http://en.opensuse.org/Package_repositories#Contrib

Ubuntu – See http://blog.sudobits.com/2010/07/11/how-to-install-chromium-in-ubuntu-10-04/

The difference between Chrome and Chromium:
Chromium is Open Source.
Chrome is the latest stable version. Chromium is the latest bleeding edge version.
Chrome comes with Flash and PDF viewing installed.
Chrome contains some other “features” (see Why shouldn’t you use Google Chrome? below)

Why should you use Google Chrome?
http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/more/index.html

Why shouldn’t you use Google Chrome?
Lots of folks think Google is evil. The term ‘evil’ was Google’s own doing when they started using the motto “Don’t Be Evil“.

Usage tracking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#Usage_tracking
