Google Chrome (actually Chromium) on Centos

Joy at last!

Chris Staite from the University of Birmingham has built a statically-linked version of Chromium, the open source version of Google’s Chrome browser, for Centos.

You can get it from here.

I was getting so sick of Firefox’s slowness and bloat, and Chromium is so much snappier, and more memory-efficient too.

Although to be fair, I don’t have nearly so many extensions installed yet…

It should just work out of the box with no extra dependencies to install. I’m using 64-bit Centos 5.4, and although it’s a 32-bit app, it seems entirely happy so far.
