Well the portable version of Google Chrome almost works under Wine. All seems to work except the actual html rendering (interface and all shows up seemingly fine, but not without many fixme's displaying in xterm).

EDIT: For those interested, the portable version can be downloaded here.

Re: Google Browser: Chrome
 
Can someone provide a direct link to the actual download please? Presumably there's an .exe file to download somewhere.. I want to download it when sitting on a Linux box, and the too-smart-for-their-own-good chrome page detects that I'm using a Linux browser and just sends me to a sign-up page for a future linux version. Argh, I hate some of the web designers out there..

Anyway.. direct link anyone?

Try here. That gets you to the eula which will navigate you to the download. The installer won't run under wine though, only the portable version actually runs :\

Thanks!
(I thought I had seen that link before but I was unable to find again - too many postings)
Got it now.

It's actually nice to see a browser that doesn't let me live with my mistakes!

Some people are claiming that the user agreement with google gives them full copyright of everything that you post on the internet using their browser. If this is true , since the browser itself is open source, could not someone just take the source code change anything that is copyrighted (im assuming the logo and such are copyrighted by google) and then release the exact same browser without that agreement?

I read that user agreement too. Very scary.

I keep a copy of XP in a VMWare Player for just such occasions... And since Chrome is all sandboxy, you'll be running a sandboxy browser inside a sandboxy XP... should be pretty safe, at least.

I really prefer Firefox 3's AwesomeBar URL suggestion feature.
