<p><!-- s9ymdb:30 --><img class="serendipity_image_right" width="128" height="128" style="float: right; border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://www.ellipsys.org/blog/uploads/GoogleChromeLogo.png" alt="" />Yes, I know it’s a Beta release, but…</p>
<ul>
<li>We all know that “Beta” has a special meaning for Google, and besides…
<li>Google’s Beta products and services are usually quite better than others that claim to be stable or mature.
</ul>
<p>On January of this year, I shared with you some facts that show that <strong>it takes Google no less than a year since it releases a new product for Windows to having a version of the same product running on Linux</strong> (see “<a href="http://www.ellipsys.org/blog/index.php?/archives/22-Google,-are-we-second-class-citizens.html" title="Google, are we second-class citizens?">Google, are we second-class citizens?</a>“). The 1.0 release was launched on December 11th 2008. <strong>362 days later, Linux and OS X users finally have a native beta for their respective platforms</strong>.</p>
<p>I’ve tried it on Debian Lenny, and I have to say that I’m really pleased and that it runs wonderfully. So, for those of you that are <a href="http://www.ellipsys.org/blog/index.php?/archives/23-Are-you-done-with-Firefox-too-Maybe-its-time-to-give-another-browser-a-chance!.html">done with Firefox’s bloat and subpar performance</a>, now you have the choice to run a modern, lightweight, reliable and extremely fast open source web browser. </p>
<p>The only bad news is that <strong>we’re still second-class citizens to Google</strong>, and that doesn’t seem likely to change in the near future. Now that we have Chrome… <strong>where’s the Google Talk client for Linux?</strong> 4 years and counting… </p>
