Install Chromium Web Browser in Ubuntu in 3 Easy Steps(Lucid,Karmic,Jaunty)

Author: LXer Linux News | Files under syndicated

So for those who are wondering what Chromium Web Browser is all about, this is the original project from where Google Chrome draws its source code. I would personally prefer Chromium over Google Chrome, because Chromium is devoid of any kind of tracking by Google of different usage statistics, which I think is a breach of privacy.

App Review: Firefox Mobile & Weave

Author: LXer Linux News | Files under syndicated

Today I’d like to tell you about Firefox Mobile on the N900, running in conjunction with the new Mozilla Weave web service. I’ve been testing them out on my handset for about a month now since the beta release of Fennec (the codename for Firefox Mobile).
