I managed to run chrome under wine. It consume about 50MB vs firefox 100MB after surfing for a short period of time. However I notice its speed is slower than FF3 and consume about double cpu% compared with that of FF3. Does anyone using chrome on native window observe similar performance penalty?
IIRC J base library use 2 different commands to open html help pages. Sometimes need file:// prefix, sometimes don't. Do they run correctly using chrome as default browser?
