Google In addition to the Chrome 2.0 beta, work for the Linux version of Chrome is on its way. Its official name is currently "Chromium," and Google Chrome for Linux doesn't officially exist yet. For the sake of argument, however, Google Chrome for Linux is on its way whether it's currently in a Chromium and pre-alpha state or not, and now Ubuntu users can get a hold of Chromium to take for a spin. In this article, learn how to install the current build of Chromium to test on your Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based system and see several screenshots of the budding browser.

You make the problem worse by assuring the authors their site is useful and/or popular (also by, for example, linking somebody to it not even knowing its true colors). If it's irritating to use without modifications, it's not useful. Ignore it. Only then such sites will go away.

You act like all the sites I visit are chosen by me, independently of other factors. Sort of like a free market.

Guess what, that's not true.

A lot of obnoxious sites have valuable content. Content is king, remember?

And many, many times activism falls on deaf ears. The only one losing by being radical and not visiting those sites is me, not them - they only lose 1 visitor (unless I suddenly start a sort of mass migration...).

I'm not a martyr. Go ahead and be one, I'll thank you for it. Cynical, isn't it?
