Yeah, now that the Linux version works pretty well, most
people won’t want to try Chrome with Wine.

The download page for the dev channel (aka continuously-updated-alpha-quality-build) is
http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
Installing from there’s the best way to get Chromium for Mac or Linux
at the moment, as those builds are updated roughly weekly.
(On Linux, your system’s normal package manager does all the updating.)
I use it, and it’s working well for me except for Flash
and a few remaining UI bugs.

You can use the link Sebastien gave if you want the daily builds,
but they’re a bit more unstable, and updating isn’t automatic with them.

Guys, you should just take a recent build from there : http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/
And it’s just easy as unzip & run.

@geekender: Google has updated the Chrome and removed the download link. Go to http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html or download the Codeweaver Chromium which is a port over of Google Chrome

Dan: Can you please help me locate Chromium logo/graphic? I looked at http://code.google.com/chromium/

gchromewiki.com looks like it’s using the
Chrome logo and Google’s logo… both no-no’s.
Sridhar, please switch to the Chromium logo
and remove the Google logo.

for other languages you possibly have to modify something. for german users the menu entry must be:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/USERNAME/Lokale\ Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe –new-http –in-process-plugins

I was able to get Chrome installed and running. Only issue is that it wouldn’t load any webpages. I haven’t tried this on the default Ubuntu distribution, but it appears, to me at first glance, that this won’t work in Kubuntu.
