We have it in our repo, but not comparable to Chrome. It's just another Webkit browser. BTW: I've read somewhere that Webkit wants to introduce multithreading in the future, too.

Arora browser is good but Chrome is a better option since it offers true sandboxing and has plenty of plugins.

I like Chromium browser. Pity it doesn't integrate well in X11. I have problems with clipboards. I use pwsafe password manager and Chromium/Chrome skips the first clipboard content.

Here is the bug report I submitted.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue ... l?id=37755

It is not yet confirmed but in my case is one of the reasons I still use firefox for browsing and web developing.

If you guys package it I will definitely give it a try but I seriously doubt the clipboard fix is going to be released soon. :roll:

As far as I remember Chromium doesn't support "url pasting" on middle click, too. And the AntiAliasing settings suck because it doesn't use the desktop setting.

I don't remember if it had problems with cross gtk/qt applications pasting but it seems to me that the middle click paste was working between the tabs. Anyway, the only positive thing about Chromium is its speed. It is really much much faster than Firefox. It is faster in rendering the pages and the general feeling is that it is snappier than Firefox. But the lack of the integration is a huge fault in my opinion. That's why I don't use it anymore but I probably would use it if it hadn't had these problems.

So you also don't use it anymore?

Yes, I'm back to Firefox. Mainly because prebuilt Chromium packages had problems on Slackware current and building Chromium is a big task.
