Firefox is an excellent web browser (my first choice!), but there is so much fuss around Google Chrome. A friend suggested the change, but it wasn’t until now that I had a go at the ‘new’ web browse.

If you don’t know, Google Chrome is based on an open source project called Chromium. Apart from the icons - which have a slightly different colors - the browsers are essentially the same. So, I went for the it and installed the ‘original’ Chromium web browser in my Ubuntu desktop, with the following steps:

1) Add the new repository to source.list file.

  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

2) Add the GPG key for the repository

  sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xfbef0d696de1c72ba5a835fe5a9bf3bb4e5e17b5

3) Update the source list

  sudo apt-get update

4) Finally, install the web browser

  sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

First, the usability is was amazing - the interface is very compact, but the more noticeable effect was navigation speed. It may have been the sense of “Ha!!” but the pages were loaded really, really fast.

I really recommend it! Firefox is still my first choice, but I was impressed by Chromium’s performances. At least for my EEE Pc, I’m
thinking of converting to Chromium.

Next, I’ll be trying the Chromium OS. There, I really don’t think there is a change over Ubuntu.
