definitely looks a lot slicker than FF on N900, but still gonna test it out. MicroB still starts the fastest of the three for me.

either way, it's pretty cool

You need to uninstall libxss first from the terminal
please check the official thread for more informationl.

as for the mods: please close this topic... this is wasted server space.


as for the topic starter: use the POIWER SEARCH next time. I just searched for Chrome and Chromium, and i found some threads...
Or just buy some glasses in case u need them :p

i still use the default nokia web browser. I have firefox but it's only good for youtube, any other flash website and it seems to just give up or crash. Ashame, cause I really like firefox and use it a lot on the PC. Google Chrome looks promising but after someone mentioning on here it crashes as well, I am just going to avoid it until someone can actualy make a stable and worthwhile web browser.

In defence of the original poster the search on this site is crap. Why do you expect new users to know how to use the Power Search - why would they do that when the search box at the top of the page is the most obvious way?

If all the people who posted telling users to use the correct search actually did something about the pisspoor state of the default search on this site then perhaps they'd be able to spend less of their time being rude to new users.:eek:

Just a thought.

Oh, come on. No need for Power Search here. Have you tried using the word "Chromium" in said obvious search box that you mention ?

It returns exactly four threads with the word in the title, with the original one in second position, this duplicate being third, and the two others much further down the page.

Which means that a basic search *before* creating this dupe would have shown the existence of the original in plain sight, as the first or second hit. Moreover, I just tried creating a new topic with "Chromium" in the title, and before I could enter a word it displayed a list of similar topics, in which the original comes first with its 189 posts.

So yes, forum search is not always very effective for difficult queries, but in this case your argument is hot air: it's just the chair-to-keyboard interface being exceptionally dumb.
