Google Chrome Beta is now available for linux. You can go here and download the .deb file for 32 or 64 bit systems. Select the version you’d like to download, and then you can simply click on Open from the box that comes up to download and install the package. It can then be found in the Applications > Internet menu. The install went smoothly for me on Hardy 8.04.3.
My initial observation is a good one. This browser let’s me switch between open tabs by using the scroll wheel, much like Epiphany and others. This is something that hugely increases productivity and makes my browsing experience smoother. Simply place the mouse over any of the tab names, and scroll, and you’ll be going through your open tabs. Simply an awesome feature.
It has other features that I’m anxious to try out. People have been raving about Chrome since it’s release, and it has taken a sizable chunk of the browser market relative to it’s age. We’ll see if it can compete with my current browser of choice, Opera.
