Chromium (Google Chrome) on Linux

Thought I ought to start a discussion, since it is now getting pretty substantial. Visually, the last few releases have vastly improved it with GTK integration and themes available from the Chrome theme site. It is also a lot more stable, and I have not had problems with basic Youtube flash playing. The most recent crash I got was exiting from the options screen, but it only happened once. :S

Your thoughts? I'm still keeping Swiftfox (Firefox) as my default, but Chrome for Linux is looking pretty neat now, although the GTK theme could do with less green.

I have been using the newer Chromium for Linux.
I was using Google-Chrome browser when I still had vista.

I have not had any real problems with Chromium.
I have changed the colour theme and added a couple of plug-ins.
Added Flash and their version of GreaseMonkey, with no problems so far.

For speed (stupid fast) and ease of use, I haven't found a better browser.
I is my first choice of browsers, but I still use FireFox 3.0.
FireFox 3.0 is way better than 3.5

I'm using Chromium now!! :mrgreen:
