Google Chrome on Linux

My Ubuntu Firefox 3.5.*  seems to have been bogging down ... sometimes appearing to hang, no keyboard input for seconds...

This has gone on for a while.    It also has trouble I never bothered to track down with audio, particularly streaming video or internet radio/music (I use Opera to "just get around it.")

Last summer I spent some time building / debugging Google Chromium (the open source version of the browser) - so I know that was rapidly undergoing development for Linux.

A little while ago, I was happy to find Google Chrome Beta available for download for both my Linices.

Note:  I did find one problem reading SSL certificates with the 64-bit version (reported), but - now my keyboard is snappy, the websites that were picky (e.g. paying mortgage) and didn't like Firefox no longer complain.

I like the "feel" of Chorme, and did when I used it (partly in revolt of IE) in a corporate environment.

And now it's here.
