Google Chrome ported to Linux and Mac OS X

Google Chrome has taken a good place in tech arena for the browser wars. Its security features, sandboxing technology makes it a perfect and smooth browser! As we know Chrome is not supported for Linux editions as everyone is waiting for it to get it released officially. But if you are really eager to run chrome in Linux environment then you should have a look at Chromium. Chromium is not official supported by Google and the it is the ported version of Chrome which runs under Wine engine as developers soul intention was to demonstrate Wine Emulator’s Capabilities. Chromium is open source and it has the exact interface (obviously) which Google Chrome has. Chromium is fully OpenSource whose source code you can get from the website itself.

The developers are recommending not to use it as your default browser for Linux now as its update feature is still missing and as you know that the browser based vulnerabilities are in wild now, so you should use it for your basic browsing purposes only rather than using it extensively. Chromium is available for Red Hat/Debian and Mac Based OS too.
