I guess I failed to see some of the nasty dependencies that are required for this browser. While the project itself is licensed BSD, all the stuff it depends on isn't. It also seems they've done some crazy things like keeping all the sources for all the deps in their source tree... could make for quite the mess But the comic looks cool! ==fanboi out==

Re: chromium comes to town
Yes, but most of us on going to be using the web on those archs. I think this is a step in the right direction. And now that they've fixed their license it's time to take a closer look.

If you have read the comic, you might remember that their JavaScript engine compiles to native machine code. Guess how many of our CPU architectures will be supported?

they only released pre-built binaries for windows. the link below shows how to fetch and build from source.

hi there, is anybody looking at this? http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-linux perhaps it's not too linux oriented if they chose the bsd license :] -f -- if practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, why practice?
