Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

This is strange....are you seeing a "scrolling bug", were sometimes when you load a page, you see the start of the page but the scrollbar is at the bottom? When I then tap on scrollbar, it acts like I am viewing the bottom of the page, and switches me to that view. Knd of annoying.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

EDIT: yes I have the scrolling bug.

No crashes though, even in complex pages. Instead, in my setting, I have been unable to open a page in a new tab or page, and the program complains when starting that it can't connect to dbus.
I don't have easy debian but a homebrew fs based on johnx beta 3.
Though, it's really quick. I'd like a webkit-based maemo native browser, indeed.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

I'm on bloody Vista... maybe that is the thing... :(

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Facebook works here ( Vista ). Are you using the new or old style Facebook?

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Yes that would be nice. The main reason is for hildon-input-method integration; I can't find an OSK I like. Matchbox has no minimize or quit buttons (is also rather space-wasting), XVKBD is cramped and doesn't hide well (when hidden, it is in the way of every scrollbar), and XKBD is awesome size-wise, has a great minimize button, just doesn't work...

By the way, the Javascript performance between MicroB and Epiphany-Webkit is staggering: in the test found here, MicroB takes around 29,000 - 32,000 MS to finish the tests, and Epiphany-Webkit takes 7,000 - 8,000.

midori gets in the mid 5000's!

And yet, Google Mail really goes slowly... I think it has something to do with a recurring error (#500) that GMail gets when in "full" mode... Hmm... Otherwise, whoo, midori (Debian edition) is screamingly fast.... All the websites seem to work with it too (except the aforementioned problem in GMail full mode)...

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

New Facebook.

Anyway, I am able to use every single other page, even the old mexican tax ones.

I will survive with it it guess, and in a really satisfied way!!

EDIT: Now it i working (seems that I had v. 0.2.149.27, and I downloaded now v. 0.2.149.29), and works!!!

That's why I need to be a little bit more patient

hmm, mozilla/netscape flashbacks anyone?

any hope with this :rolleyes:

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Given there are no ARM debs, that there's only an x86 JavaScript JIT and that there's no new information about an ARM port... no - no hope from the Chromium team's PPA :-/

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

The JS JIT already works on ARM:

Quoted from http://code.google.com/p/v8/

You can bet this will be backported to WebKit which is also ported to ARM already. So that it can be used in S60browser, Safari, and all the other browsers using WebKit on ARM.

Question is when.

Those folks who port it to Ubuntu probably don't care about ARM. They just want to get Chrome on their Ubuntu x86 desktop first.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

V8 and Squirrelfish are different things.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Every browser/rendering_engine tab/window different PID is interesting from 2 perspectives: 1) security (like a sandbox) 2) stability (won't bring whole browser down).

The former is important because mobile platform has these features:
* GSM/GPRS (3G); dialer/sms/mms/data scam target
* Device behind NAT; no services listening on ports; not a vector
* Browser is a main interaction with the web and therefore also a main target for evil people.
* We previously ran vulnerable Gecko engine (and probably Flash as well) on Maemo.

Stability wise, my MicroB on N810/Maemo4 crawled (usually with swap) and/or crashed (usually without swap) sometimes. All windows gone. Not good.

The Linux/ARM instructions to build Chromium are here http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxChromiumArm they are written for Ubuntu/ARM so must keep scratchbox in mind they're still useful though because contains changes to be applied to Chromium built options specific to ARM. Haven't tried yet.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Wont the latest hardware (ie N900) be able to cope with native Chromium?

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

The Linux version of Chrome is now (10 december 2009) available. Is it possible to port it now?

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Well, I don't know :)

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

There's a video on youtube of Chromium running on a Beagle Board. But every time i try to build it for arm it fails. :(

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

I would like also to see Chromium running on n900. How do you build it, do you follow googles instructions or what?

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Just copy packages from ubuntu ppa to OBS to see if they build for arm :P

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

chromium is running on the touch book ( http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Roadmap ) (omap 3 cpu too) so it should be possible to compile it for the n900 too ...

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

From some reason, I can't install the 386i deb version in Easy-Debian... why?

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Because it's for i386 architecture and you'd need it built for ARM, most likely.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

But isn't that the hole point of Easy Debian? That I can install packages targeted x86 cpu ?

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

No easy debian uses the armel port of debian.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

I've been looking for a Google Chrome port for my N900 because I use it at home and it's awesome. Thanks for the port!

Yes, one can zoom in with ctr+fn + -/+ :)
The Touch plugin works alright. Also installed Adblock and Flashblock.

One can type small-caps using Shift, and indeed that could use some fixing, along with exiting full-screen.

Smallcaps works automatically when entering passwords.

Xorg seems to be working up the processor quite a bit, it's probably the reason the page is not reponsive while loading.

Overall, 6/10 for now, but the fixes would make it 10/10 :p

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Anyone know how to get rid of the highlight thingy on Chromium, its acting as if im using a cursor. As opposed to MicroB's browser where when you touch the screen it scrolls instead of highlighting..

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

You need to install the Touch extension for it to scroll, it works on web pages, but not on the settings page, it very quick and very fast scrolling. I have 3 extensions so far that work for give info but crashes the browser when trying to open the page from the extension; GV NOTIFIER and WAVE NOTIFER.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

The Iron browser http://www.srware.net/en/software_sr...me_vs_iron.php is very good its the Chrome browser -minus big Brother (Google). I would like more privacy in my browser. That company all ready knows too much, Dammit G! that wasn't me you can't prove any thing!!:mad:

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Any news on this port? could we have a separate chromium branch for maemo or at least a way to be up to date with its latest versions?

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Unfortunatelly, due to some patent issues nokia decided to cover their *** so for the moment there will be no new versions and current version will disappear from repository ( at least for now ).

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 

Geeze, that's sad! It's also a good reason to have some repositories NOT on this site, I think.
