Chrome for Linux may shake up Firefox
Linux users can now get an early taste of Google's Chrome browser through the Chromium project. Although not an official Chrome release Chromium is an open source project on which the official Chrome browser is based. In this form it gives uses a good, although still rough, insight into what Linux users can expect when a final official Chrome release is made.
Officially Google has already released Chrome 2.0 for the Windows platform but has not released a version for Mac OS X or Linux, although the company has been promising to do so for some time now.
The Chromium alpha release now available for Linux users is still mostly incomplete with many users reporting an overly common tendency to crash. Nevertheless, industry commentators are taking the release of the Chromium alpha quite seriously, with many predicting that it could be the start of a long downhill slide for Firefox.
