chrome

[gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I've got Google Chrome installed under Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10. Have

especially with bookmarks. I suspect that most major distros will
include Chrome in the future.  I'm going to set it up as the default
viewer on my laptop for the time being.
