Thanks, Randy. Though Google does not support Chrome on my main distro (Scientific Linux 6.6), I was able to get it running with this hack: wget http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/install_chrome.sh sudo sh install_chrome.sh Chrome runs flash a bit faster than firefox, though the looping control seems different. Chrome also does not crash with Google maps like Firefox sometimes does. However, I am concerned about security; Google's real customers could be using data that Chrome gathers. As I am not a paying customer, I shy away from Google products, though I do use maps, books, and scholar. Otherwise, protopage and duckduckgo are my main search and browsing tools. There may be a similar SL6 porting hack for Chromium. Is the open source version of Chromium Adobe flash compatible?
