Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Chromium alpha

I think I'll just leave this here.

Chromium is the FASTEST browser I've ever seen on a linux system. It's even faster than Midori.

Its in early alpha/beta? so many options don't work yet. There is no native flash support.

But! Here's how you can get partial flash working (at least youtube):

Copy libflashplayer.so from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins

a bit buggy I guess but working wink

Re: Chromium alpha

Yes, Chromium is very fast. One of the reasons being that it uses pipelining for http requests. For whatever reason, Firefox can do this, but it's not enabled by default. To enable it you have to type about:config in the address bar, then use the filter to search for "pipe". Then change "network.http.pipelining" to "true" and maxrequests to something like 8-12. With this, and without the flashplugin and extensions, Firefox should not be much slower (with adblock, it should be faster, I guess).

Re: Chromium alpha

I too like Chromium, but I just keep getting 'Segmentation fault' every time I use it. Any solution to this problem?

Wow. This made FF much faster than the webkit browsers that I have on my system. Groovy.

I'm sorry for OT, but I also recommend http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2009/07/vacu … rformance/
It makes ff lot less laggy when searching history, for linux basically it is:

cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/s41vbd5.default

(that is folder with strange random-generated name)
and run

for z in *.sqlite; do echo "VACUUM;" | sqlite3 "$z"; done

you need sqlite3 package installed

Re: Chromium alpha

I can't think of any improvement, besides „why to use it?" You have chromium-snapshot in AUR, and you can easily modify it to automatically fetch the latest version.
