Google Chrome running on OSX and Linux

It's running under CrossOver, which is basically a paid version of Wine/Darwine.... which means it doesn't really count.

Pretty crude... lots of widget flickering, font issues, spurious scroll bars etc but it works and you can test your site in it without starting VMware/Parallels. Definitely not suitable to be used as a default browser but it's great for quick testing.<p>But most of all, this is a great example of advertising your product by latching onto some new fad.

A discussion of what it took to do it: <a href="http://www.codeweavers.com/about/people/blogs/jwhite/2008/9/15/fire-drills-and-proving-a-point" rel="nofollow">http://www.codeweavers.com/about/people/blogs/jwhite/2008/9/...</a>

I recently started using a small, lightweight, linux umpc for all my internet usage and development work. The one thing I missed was Lotus Notes [Notes-haters just hold your tongues!] To my very pleasant surprise I could run it under Wine and it's as fast as running it on my Vista laptop (and the Vista laptop has twice the ram and twice the processor power). I hadn't looked at Wine for maybe 5 or 6 years. It's come a very long way.

I'm running this on Hardy and it runs... OK. More of an interesting POC than anything else. However, I think it forcefully demonstrates one of two things:<p>1) Wine is amazing.<p>2) Wine is a mess.<p>I dunno. Maybe both. I know, I know. It's Codeweavers. Still, that's Wine.

Edit: Flagging this for duplication; the other link's title isn't so misleading.<p>Wow, I was running Chrome from day one using VMWare Fusion. Between Fusion and Parallels, us Mac users are pretty much covered. I still have nightmares about Wine, though...

Works great in Parallel's Coherence mode too:<p><a href="http://tlrobinson.net/skitches/Skitch-20080915-154041.png" rel="nofollow">http://tlrobinson.net/skitches/Skitch-20080915-154041.png</a>

Mine is crashing every 5 min! :( Anyone else having problems? Looks like a great attempt though, but I cant wait for a native version, hopefully that's on the way soon.

I tried it and it renders the fonts really poorly. It's actually makes it unusable.<p>Either way, it's probably easier to find a windows box to try it on then use this.

It's not native, but it's pretty darn good. I like it.

V8 and webkit can surely be compiled under varies os. CodeWeaver just wanna promote its commercial wine....

I'm sorry, I was yawning. Are we still talking about browsers that don't matter and never will?
