Chromium for Linux finally reaches Alpha build
By Fabio on Sunday May 24th 2009 05:16 | Category: software
The Open Source project behind the Google Chrome browser called Chromium has finally established an official Alpha release and it promises to be a very lightweight swiss army knife once completed.
Even though I found the Chromium browser to be fairly usable and fast a few months ago the project owners still called the browser a pre-Alpha product. I expected this to change soon and running my daily round of updates resulted in the official Alpha update for the Chromium project. And even though a lot of functionality is still lacking (of which the owners are aware) this promises to be a fantastically fast browser with tons of potential.
This post was written using the Alpha build and I have to say this went off completely without a hitch! The V8 Javascript engine underneath has already proven itself in the Google Chrome project and of course manages to do the same for the Linux version. I have to say this is love at first sight, sorry Firefox but my simple minded EEE PC just handles Chromium a lot better, I hope we can still be friends..
No foul words on Firefox though.. Firefox is just more of a Desktop thing where Chromium is like.. more of a speedy "look at me browsing on my low-end Machine" kind of browser. And both can co-exist just fine in this browser wars.
