In theory it would be good to test web applications on several different browsers but I must admit that I’m mainly concerned about Firefox and Internet Explorer. Well, now that I have a “Windows Day” during the week I included Google Chrome in my tests. It is such a nice browser and since it uses Webkit I can fool myself and pretend that everything running on Chrome is perfectly fine for Safari users.
Couldn’t wait any longer to have Chrome on Ubuntu so on Sunday night I checked out the Chromium source code files, installed depot tools and all software dependencies, typed hammer and voila! Binaries up and running after a few hours. Gosh, I need better hardware.
I did not expect for it to run at all but I was able to navigate through most of the websites I needed. I was quite amazed by the results. It is more than a plausible promise after all.
