Linux Chromium Browser Pre-Alpha

Posted on Apr 1, 2009 in downloads, ubuntu | 0 comments

I finally have a successful install of pre-alpha chromium browser for Linux on my Ubuntu 8.10. But since it’s non-official and in a pre-alpha state, you can’t expect it to work as you would expect on the windows version. If you want to try it yourself, play with it a your own risk. ^_^ No animals were harmed during my test though, so have fun.

Screenshots:

During my first attempt, I really thought they forgot the most important part of a browser: “Displaying a Webpage”. Yep it was very funny first install because I was so excited bout trying it out. ^_^ It doesn’t do much yet, but its fun to play with.

If you want to have it in your Ubuntu, here’s how I did it.
PPA for Ubuntu Chromium Daily Builds
1. Add repositories:

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

2. Then on the terminal type:

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

Warnig: This might be annoying, because it’s a daily build repository.
