"Google Chrome for Linux is finally ready for beta. Like the Windows version, it's fast, secure, stable, simple, extensible, and embraces open standards like HTML5." , writes Google Chrome Blog. Google Chrome works well with both Gnome and KDE, and is updated via the normal system package manager. It has also been developed as a true open source project, using public mailing lists, IRC channels, bug tracker, code repository, and continuous build and test farm -- following in large part the trail blazed by Mozilla.
Google has launched a beta of the Chrome extensions gallery to support the launch, also in beta, of extensions for the Windows and Linux versions of Chrome. Extensions allow users to extend their browser by writing scripts which can become part of the browser experience, in a similar fashion to Firefox Add-Ons. The gallery has more than 300 extensions which users can install from the site with a simple click.
