[olug] Google Chrome on Linux

[Dave Rowe]

Oh, Chrome is still my primary browser these days, its still snappy and _just works_ most of the time.  I think it has an amazing future.  I hope it doesn't get bogged down though.  Firefox used to also be amazing and snappy, but (to me) has since gone down hill in terms of performance, etc.

do any of you remember how buggy the first Mozilla was when it came
out? It would barely even open! I'm hoping these things get resolved
quick you know? I'd love to have sleek little browser again.
