Is Google Chrome Unstable available for Archlinux?

As you probably know..there are now official google-chrome-unstable packages released by google. Though they seem to be released in .deb format..I was wondering if there are google chrome packages for Arch? I'm not talking of chromium, but the actual official google chrome.

Thanks!

Isn't chromium the wine version? There is an actual, official chrome released now for linux,. that performs MUCH better than the wine version.

Chromium is not the WINE version - it's the name of the open source project behind Chrome.  Chrome is the official Google releases of chromium.

Please mark this as solved.
