PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY!


Firstly you need to go to this site (packages courtesy of Jace Kowski many thanks to him) and download libxss-1.1.3.deb and chromium-5.0.369.2.deb

Secondly you need to have root access.

Then launch a terminal and do

sudo gainroot

cd “wherever you downloaded the packages into”

dpkg -i libxss-1.1.3.deb

dpkg -i chromium-5.0.369.2.deb

Then just start the application and you are running Chromium the opensource version of Google Chrome :)

I haven’t done any extensive testing but Flash seems to work.

TIP: Apparently you can make Chromium more finger friendly by installing an extension called Chrome Touch (tip courtesy of zehjotkah in the talk.maemo.org forum)

It should look something like this :)

Uninstalling is very simple

sudo gainroot

dpkg -r chromium libxss
