Google Chrome on Linux

This won’t be long, I just want to go over a couple things about Chrome on Linux. So first off, its fast, super duper fast. I am running Chrome on 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 with a SSD and Chrome starts up faster than pretty much anything else.

If you aren’t able to get your GTK theme to work apply one of the other themes available, and then select use GTK theme.

Also if you want to enable Flash do the following

$ sudo updatedb
$ locate libflashplayer.so
$ mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins/
$ cp [insert libflashplayer.so location here] /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

Now change the shortcut for Chrome to

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-plugins %U

Enjoy the speed and smoothness that is Chrome.
