- abhiroop, on 07/08/2009, -6/+20This is useless...!!! It is still so rough around the edges...why bother with this until basic things (like flash support) is not yet there!
- palmer, on 07/08/2009, -1/+15Now if we could just get idiots to stop creating Web sites with invisible text, where they override users' background color with white but don't set the text to black.

From the article: "At the current stage, it handles light themes very well but falls down a little bit with dark themes"
Dark themes always have more of a problem in Gnome. Making dark themes always needs more considerations and testing, at least from my experience. - inactive, on 07/08/2009, -5/+13Now I can comfortably switch to Linux :D
- assente, on 07/08/2009, -0/+8Firefox rocks until I see NOScript and Firebug for Chromium/Chrome
- calcm, on 07/08/2009, -3/+9My five year old daughter uses Linux (Fedora 11). She uses the gnome desktop and plays her My Little Pony games using Wine. She also uses Firefox to play flash games off of nick.com, cartoonnetwork.com, etc.
If my five year old daughter can use Linux and maneuver around the gnome desktop certainly everyone can.
And when Chrome is released perhaps I will have her try it. - ultrafez, on 07/08/2009, -0/+5Everything was wrong with that comment.
- ultrafez, on 07/08/2009, -1/+6Chrome is on Windows, too.
- constchar, on 07/08/2009, -0/+5"It looks like it's waiting for unimportant javascript or images to finish loading before rendering the pages."
NoScript + AdBlock.
I don't know I got along without them before. - Lowspirit, on 07/08/2009, -0/+4They have basic plugin loading working in their latest nightly builds so some report Flash working just fine on sites like Youtube but I can only get sound to work in my slightly older build.
- Giac, on 07/08/2009, -2/+4one step closer to firefox...
- puzzud, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Awesome. One thing I noticed about Linux users when I first started messing with Linux is that they love their desktop themes. Over time I have become similar. I used to hate how my Gtk and Qt windows clashed, until I discovered a fix (which is pretty common place now). I use Kubuntu, Gtk follows my KDE (Qt) theme; so I have hope Chromium is able to inherit from that daisy chain. I'll see. Chromium repositories update like every other day.
- mithrasinvictus, on 07/08/2009, -4/+6spam. buried.
- explodingzebras, on 10/06/2009, -0/+1well it is _not_ a final release.
- ethana2, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1I have Safari 4 on my Ubuntu Dell in WINE, but Top Pages crashes :(
- sankardatti, on 07/13/2009, -0/+1Have to check this mode...
- brettalton, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1I'm reading this right now using Google Chrome in Ubuntu 9.04...

Sorta like Chrome OS I guess ;) - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Google Chrome's Linux builds have always used GTK, albeit they didn't look like it because it came with a separate theme. It shows even with the default theme - if you have sounds enabled when you click on widgets (fresh install of Jaunty), then you should hear the "button noise" when you click the close button on a tab.
Why they didn't release the native theme in the first place is beyond me. - puzzud, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1I've not heard of this project, but my only problem with it (which would be alot of other peoples' too) is that it at least on the surface doesn't look like a Gtk Java binding. Instead, it looks like a Gnome Java binding. Not gonna go into detail if you don't get my drift already. I like the concept though.
- ptFoe, on 07/09/2009, -2/+2Oh no now the Gnome Foundation will move a few icons around, kill a few useful features and rebadge it as "Epiphany using webkit".
- falser, on 07/08/2009, -4/+4I recently got a Mac, and not having Chrome is just killing me. Firefox hangs for like 10 seconds before loading nearly every page. It looks like it's waiting for unimportant javascript or images to finish loading before rendering the pages. Firefox seems to have went overboard and has become bloatware. Once Chrome is out I'm never going back.
- pentiumii, on 07/09/2009, -3/+3why any linux user would give a rat ass about chrome in first place let alone it having native gui support is beyond me
the only way i see this meaning any thing to a linux user if the only distro u ever used is ubuntu and u really don't know alot about linux and firt place so u proable dont know u can get other webkit browser that are just as good with all that suport now for linux
webkit based browser like Midori and Arora have been around for a wile there just as fast chrome have almost the same stuff as chrome does and r way easy to mod if needed
plus they all ready have all the support for the normal stuff like flash and java and so on
chrome in the linux world is just another webkit browser i don't see real linux user getting all geek up over it
wel at least i haven't nor as any i know who is a linux user
they all perty much could care less - anarchy99, on 07/08/2009, -3/+2geez
either you were suppose to end this with im a PC
and then get your cheque at the end of the month for Microsoft marketing
or your on to many drugs
any real computer user or even people who use the allot know that vista is a horrible OS and the worst OS microsoft has every released - calcm, on 07/08/2009, -6/+4Anyone use the GTK Java bindings to build a Linux windowing app?
I created a simple application a few years back and it was really nice. I avoided Java Swing because I wanted to learn the GTK capabilities:
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/ - ladyattis, on 07/08/2009, -9/+4Good idea, but I fracking hate GObject. Still, GTK+ is feature rich. :3
- xngk, on 07/08/2009, -10/+5Chrome is great and all on Windurfs, but There is no reason to leave Firefox on Linux =/
- rickglaser, on 07/08/2009, -10/+3Seems pretty sick. Makes me want to go run Linux :P
- thecheatah, on 07/08/2009, -11/+3looks pretty ugly.
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -16/+4Pretty sure nothing could ever stop me from worshiping the great OS that is Vista - not even something slick like chromium.
