I use Chromium (not Chrome) as the main browser under Ubuntu Linux. It runs very fine and the last crash happened long time ago (perhaps on 3 or 4 earlier PPA builds, and just breaking a tab, not the entire browser). I make CPU intensive javascript development like this: www.codebase.es/jsgb (a JavaScript GameBoy emulator) and it's the best browser (with difference) for running it. Even on a simple netbook it runs fast and smoothly. I'm not a Chromium developer but sure it would be helpful if you provide more information: · type "about:" on address bar to get your browser version · paste console output on crashes · give your linux version: $ cat /proc/version · http://dev.chromium.org/for-testers/bug-reporting-guidlines-for-the-mac-linux-builds - Pedro --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
