Personally, I've been a firefox fanboy for so long but bothered to try Chromium while FF4 is delayed and I can see why so many like it. Anyway, fount this news interesting enough to post it on the forums.

I guess the browser is the operating system, everything is done within it.

from my understanding is that its Chrome on top of linux. It will be used on physical hardware such as netbooks/nootbooks. In fact, I think they are giving away some for people notebooks to test out if you sign up.

hey, I dont like Google myself, im a firefox guy but bothered to try out Chrome since FF4 is taking forever to come out, and its pretty good. I used Chromium though, not Google Chrome as that one doesnt have the track usage, Google product features.

I tried chrome on my work computer, and its speed is horrendous, must have some problems in regards to the network.

yeah,it was like that at first and I got rid of it,slow. But it appears to be really fast, especially since I finally fount a Adblockplus addon for it (not the one from the google site). Note, im using Chromium, not the Chrome with Google stamped all over it. Overall its cool and has some nice features. Though, I still cant wait for FF4 :P

Check out Iron, Flock, and RockMelt as well if you like Chormium.
