Building Google Chrome on Linux
Why not play along? It is that exciting. Like a Gentoo install fest.
/edit
A better part of the afternoon flushed down the drain for two executables: base_unittests and net_unittests. Passed with flying colors but neither is a browser.
rm -rf /chrome

“Note: There is no working Chromium-based browser on Linux.”
Sure, go ahead and read the stern notice border with red rather than skipping right to the instructions on how to compile and install. Good day to you, sir, good day.
I just d’led the version for XP and I’m immediately very happy with it.
Did you get my email?
Its not quite native, yet, but you can get Chrome running on Linux through WINE:

The wine guys fixed wine so that it will work on Chrome
Sorry! Work has been a bear with the re-launch. I’ll give Wine a shot to see what the fuss is all about though I suspect it will take a lot for me to switch to another browser as the add-ons for FF have deep hooks in me.
if it is working in wine that is good to hear
its true though that chrome needs addon support (or firefox needs to add the process isolation features of chrome)
until then, check out greasemetal, greasemonkey for chrome, its an interesting example of making user-developed tools cross-browser compatible
