Google Chromium (Pre Alpha) on Ubuntu

Today whiles googleing,  I came across  TomBuntu’s blog where you could install a pre alpha version of Google Chromium on Ubuntu. Yes I love Firefox but once in a blue moon it fools around and usually i have to restart my pc to be able to get it working again. So it would be nice to have another good browser to use when Firefox “pulls an IE”.

So here are the steps for installing Google Chromium on Ubuntu.

1. Add the necessary repositories to your sources.lst
Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

2. Now Update your repositories using the following command

sudo apt-get update
3. Now install The Almighty Chromium

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

Here are a couple of  screenshots showing Google Chromium  running on my Ubuntu 8.10
