I've been enjoooying chromium-browser on */Linux since last ~3weeks, you'll find lotsa references out there on howto install it, in my ubuntu it boils down to:
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chromium.list
#echo "Acquire::http::Proxy::ppa.launchpad.net DIRECT;" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/85launchpad
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4E5E17B5
apt-get update
apt-get install chromium-browser
One important functionality I was missing was the ability to create "%s" bookmarks (ala firefox), the nice thing is that it's actually support, tho not "fancy" at the moment because of laking bookmark editor (May/09).
Good news is that you can actually ride it via sql:
#!/bin/bash
# Author: JuanJo
# License: GPLv2+
# Usage: (chromium-browser must not be running)
# ./chromium-browser_keywords.sh ## *see* it, then:
# ./chromium-browser_keywords.sh | sqlite3 $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/Web?Data
# Goodies:
# at the address bar type eg:
# yh tate
# wa theta
# rae teta
# bspot juanjosec

"
while read k url;do
case "$k" in ""|\#*) continue;;esac
echo -n "INSERT INTO keywords (short_name, keyword, favicon_url, url) "
echo "VALUES ('$k','$k','about:blank','$url');"
done < <(echo "$KEYWORDS"| sed 's/%s/{searchTerms}/')
Incidentally nuff, I'm now at a roaming session I need to last +4hs, so I closed my ff-3.1b3 cpu toaster and left riding entirely on chrome-browser (who needs flash after all ?).
