Google After about 8 months of work, Google has "released Chrome 2" to the general public. Technically, this just means they moved the version of Chrome in the beta channel up to the stable channel. "We're referring to this as Chrome 2, but that's mainly a metric to help us keep track of changes internally. We don't give too much weight to version numbers and will continue to roll out useful updates as often as possible." There's lots of decent goodies in Chrome 2.

You got it wrong buddy.

Chromium was not developed in Linux. It is open sourced, but not developed in Linux. Why do you use Microsoft Visual Studio to debug it?

Anyone can take the source code and build a Linux browser from Chromium. Do it and don't wait for Google to build it for you.
FOSS programmers are cutting edge, right?

True. What he probably meant is that Chrome is based on WebKit based on KHTML initially a FOSS/Linux/KDE project.
