STOP

This browser is not ready yet!

This is a pre-alpha build of Chromium on Linux. It is woefully incomplete.

It's ‘Chromium’, not ‘Google Chrome’:

Chromium is an open source browser project. Google Chrome is a browser from Google, based on the Chromium project. This is a build of Chromium. No versions of Google Chrome for Linux will exist until Google makes an official release.

Please don't file bugs:

At this point there are so many gaping holes that finding bugs is not the problem and dealing with them is just a distraction.

Blogging about it is not helpful:

Chromium's problem is not a lack of media attention, but an excess of it. Coverage encourages people to try it out in this incomplete state which only creates negative first impressions. Also, dealing with misunderstandings/questions etc only distracts the team from the job of improving it.

Likewise, keep in mind that we won't see your comments if they're on a random blog somewhere.

How to help:

Chromium is an open source project, you are welcome to help out. We have documentation for developers as well as mailing lists and an IRC channel.
