Chromium web browser

Posted December 26th, 2009 in Software by Mario Seijo

Most people have heard of Google Chrome by now, a new web browser that is supposed to be faster, simple, and fully standards compliant. What most people don’t know is that Google Chrome is built from Chromium, an open source web browser with the same bells and whistles, but without all the Google branding.

After a full week of using Chromium, I like it so much that it has become the default web browser on my little netbook. Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer to use Mozilla Firefox with a few must-have plugins on my desktop for heavy-duty web development work; but this gives me another option.

What about you?  what is your favorite web browser?

Do you Ubuntu?

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you probably heard about Ubuntu; the FREE operating system that kicks ass. Ubuntu is open source software, that means that thousands of developers around the world work on it. Personally, I’ve been using it since version 6.04 and it keeps getting better! The new version due out this month.
