Weeks ago, the open-source web browser Chromium received a new carton-ish logo and all was working great, with one exception, Chromium lacked appmenu support.
The last daily builds has brought this natural awesome "appmenu" ("Application Menu/Global-Menu") support, and, what's brilliant, is the exposing of the menu under the wrench, so, all the settings are available directly from the "appmenu".

How do we install Chromium 12 (daily/unstable build with the "appmenu" support)

Add the following PPA:

After its open-source brother, Chromium 11, received a new logo, Google Chrome has just been pimped with a flatter carton-ish logo.

It seems to be a re-branding logo for Chrome/ium, although the colors, shape and proportions are almost the same in both cases.

This new icons are only for the development version, which should be stable/current in the near future if we look at Chrome/ium's release cycle.

Browsers capabilities are growing every day and, as we all witnessed, Chromium, Firefox 4 BETA and Google Chrome have receives hardware acceleration, which is a must in term of a decent rich media content browsing experience.
Although Chrome/ium have hardware acceleration built-in, is not turned on by default (why, o, why???).

Shortcuts are ways to get faster to our interest, so, it's always productive to have handy shortcuts, especially in a browser.

Here are 5 easy to use Chrome/ium shortcuts:

• Ctrl+Shift+B -> toggles the Bookmarks Bar on/off
• Ctrl+D -> bookmark your current page
• Ctrl+J -> summons the Downloads tab
• Shift+Esc -> opens the Task Manager, from there you can close high-usage tabs/processes
• Ctrl+Shift+T -> re-open the most recently closed tab

Notify-OSD is the default notification framework in Ubuntu, smooth, sexy, but doesn't support everything out-of-the-box. What I mean is that important things, like browser messages, are left behind.
Chromify-OSD is an extension that uses notify-osd notification framework in order to deliver notifications in Chrome/ium.

Install it via Chrome Web Store by searching "Chromify-OSD" or grab it from here.

Chromium 9 has just been released bringing many bug fixes and cool, exciting new features.

So, what is new in Chromium 9?

1, 2, 3 and start! Just kidding!
A few days ago Opera 11 beta has been released, Mozilla Firefox has reached version 4 beta 7, Google Chrome (made possible by Chromium) version 8 and Chromium (open source software) version 8.
We've ran some tests (acid3 test and FishIEtank from Microsoft).
Keep in mind that we used the default Adobe Flash Player (not 10.2 beta version with reduced cpu usage, etc).
