Google Chrome and Wine
Some days ago was released Google Chrome (Beta version), the first version of the new Google browser. I've tryed this browser yesterday and i think that this project can be a future in the browser's story. Google Chrome is a free and open source web browser. The open source project behind Google Chrome is known as Chromium. The beta version is only for Microsoft Windows at this time, but Mac OS X and Linux versions are under development and are scheduled to be released sometime in the future. From today there is a method to run Chrome under wine on linux.
To run Google Chrome with wine you need to download the latest version from wine's website or repositories. Under Ubuntu Hardy Heron you can install latest version of wine with apt-get:
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - |
wget http://gpdl.google.com/chrome/install/149.27/chrome_installer.exe Download winetricks and install two libraries:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks |
wine chrome_installer.exe |
env WINEPREFIX="/home/[nomeutente]/.wine" wine "C:\windows\profiles\[nomeutente]\Settaggi Locali\Applicazioni\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-http --in-process-plugins |
