Yesterday in London, UK Google launched a massive advertising campaign for the Google Chromium Chrome floss free libre open open-source browser project !

Chromium aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web. The Chromium site contains design documents, architecture overviews, testing information, and more to help you learn to build and work with the Chromium source code.

STOP PRESS and now on the front page of The Stylist and The Shortlist too !

Apparently the real Google Ubuntu Chromium OS is based on Ubuntu and not on OpenSuse ! And the official download is only available as sourcecode which you have to build-it-yourself ! So by implication any other ISO or VM downloads that claim to be Chromium OS are possibly spoofs or fakes !

Thanks to Alan Pope for alerting me to the spoof ISO i downloaded last week !

Bizarre Google OpenSuse Chromium Chrome OS bugs

1. The Chromium Chrome Browser OS doesnt run on the Chromium Chrome OS live cd !
2. After you install to hard disk it does !
3. But then theres still a Install icon left on your desktop after you've installed !

According to http://hintofsarcasm.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/installing-chromium-on-opensuse-11/ installing the google chromium browser onto opensuse is a one click install ! Of course its zero clicks if you are already using a google opensuse chromium chrome os vm which comes with the google chromium chrome browser pre-installed !

Proof that Google Chromium OS is in fact OpenSuse 11.1 !

The Selenium IDE FireFox macro recorder and webtest tool can be used to record and play FireFox macrosm and for QA QC of web sites !

The config files are easy to read XML/HTML files which can be exported into Java & PHP Selenium Remote Control (RC) files.

There is a test suite HMTL file that simply defines the test cases to run. Each test case HTML file contains commands such as open/goto, click, select, type, clickandwait and verifytextpresent which helps you identify if you test succeeded or failed !

There's even a Selenium CubicTest plugin for Eclipse !

Arora is a simple cross platform web browser. Currently Arora is a very basic browser whose feature list includes things like "History" and "Bookmarks". It does not have support for netscape plugins, so no flash support until Qt 4.5. But it is small, less than 10,000 lines of code, very fast, lean, mean and loads of fun to hack on.

To make rapid progress possible, we try to keep the code relatively easy to understand, straightforward algorithms and data structures are used when possible. Consistent code styling, clear, maintainable code, and we continue to improve names and code structure to aid understanding.

I've been giving you (flock 1.1) a chance every six months for the last few years and this latest time you did last a record 24 hours BUT although you work fine on my work Dual Core 2G work desktop my notebook at home is a lowly Pentium 1G which hates running continuously at between 88% - 99% CPU so its back to trusty old firefox i'm afraid.

I might take another look in another six months time ? (When you @ 1.4 ?)
