chrome browser

One of the big problems with Google Chrome is the lack of inline PDF support on most platforms. Google has added preliminary support for PDF to Chromium but so far it has not come to Linux. It may come tomorrow, but until then, users who would like to avoid using acroread may use the following hack, at least on Ubuntu Lucid. As always, your mileage may vary.

I've been running Chromium on Ubuntu from the daily-build repository but recently it started failing to reach google when performing searches, so I switched to older builds via the beta builds archive. If your goal is to have a usable browser rather than to perform the valuable service of testing dailies, you should consider doing likewise.
