Which is true, I really don't. Never used it, and I never will. I've gotten Google Chrome to work just fine under the past few releases of Ubuntu. And if Chrome hasn't been working properly I just switch to Ubuntu's usual default, Mozilla Firefox.
The first thing I do every time I install Ubuntu (I've had to do it quite a few times on my laptop. What can I say? Tech happens.) is install the flash players so that I can watch YouTube on Mozilla, and then I install Google Chrome. And then I update everything else and go through my list of installations and upgrades.
However, according to OMG! Ubuntu! (Whom I love to pieces), Ubuntu is hoping that when they release 13.10 it will be packaged with Chromium as the default browser. Chromium!! That thing that I go out of my way to uninstall if I ever catch it on my laptop! Now, I'm not saying that I'd rather run Opera or Internet Explorer, but I mean, I hardly see the point of Chromium.
Personally, I think that Chromium should have been scrapped as soon as Google Chrome was able to be stable in Ubuntu. Maybe it's just because I don't know all that much about Chromium, and maybe because while I love Google Chrome to bits, I'm having a secret love affair with Firefox. (It's currently the default browser on my Android Tablet, that's for sure. I kind of hated Chrome on Android. It used to be Dolphin, but I mean, come on. Firefox is so much prettier, and the add-ons are free!)
If I'm wrong, about anything above, then please let me know. I like being correct, especially when I'm sharing information with others.
Those of you who want to read the article put out by OMG! Ubuntu!, here's a link:
As for other news, I'm very slowly working on getting the website finished! I'm probably going to publish it sometime this week, minus a few pages that are still works in progress.
What do you think? Should the default browser stay as Firefox, or switch to something else? Comment below!
Hope everyone's enjoying themselves!
