In September 2 last year, Google released a new browser Chrome (Chrome). However, it was only running on Windows platforms and did not attract much attention from me. In February 25 this year, Google released the Chrome browser's Linux version (Alpha version), which immediately caused a great shock in the International Linux Industry and changed people's original concept of Chrome. What is the situation? Yesterday, I called a Ubuntu friend of CSIP (National Software Center) and asked him to pay attention to Chrome browser at Ubunt.

What is the situation?
Yesterday, I called a Ubuntu friend of CSIP (National Software Center) and asked him to check the running status of Chrome browser on Ubuntu 8.10. Later, I went to the west single library building in Beijing to see if there was any Ubuntu book published (especially the Ubuntu pocket guide translated by Keir Thomas) and encountered a joke. I am on the three big bookshelves that display Linux books. I have been searching for a long time since I went up and down, so I cannot find a Ubuntu book. So I asked the bookstore Service staff to help. She pointed to the opposite Unix bookshelf and said to me: that's right there! It turns out that they mistakenly treat Ubuntu as a Unix book, because they all start with "U! I found that there are seven different Ubuntu books there, which is really not enough. However, the Ubuntu pocket guide has not been translated and published yet, and I am disappointed.
In March 20, Keir Thomas, an award-winning Ubuntu writer, published an article entitled "FireFox may already be dead". After reading this article, I cannot feel calm for a long time. Google gave its browser the name Chrome (Chrome), which is strange. The first impression is: it is so powerful and sturdy. As a result, in the "World hacker competition" in Vancouver in March 18, various experts gathered, that is, there was no way to break the Chrome browser, which confirmed Google's (Security) expectations for the Chrome browser. In addition, Keir Thomas found that Chrome and FirFox are running much faster on the Ubuntu platform, which is very embarrassing for FireFox. For example, a 20-year-old boy is inferior to an old man. What's even worse, Keir Thomas revealed a secret: Google is trying to get money from the Mozilla Foundation when people use Firefox to browse the Internet! As a result, Mozilla was satisfied and forgot to continue working on Firefox. It turns out that money has harmed Firefox. In fact, many Slashdot posts are quite vocal about this. Let's look at it.
The problem is that the Firefox foundation makes money and Firefox developers do nothing about this kind of good thing? On the contrary, after Chrome's open-source browser was released, the version was upgraded rapidly. The new version was updated one by one, and the development momentum was fierce. I think Chrome is not unimaginable in Ubuntu 9.10. At that time, Firefox will be dumpfounded. It is obvious that, over the past one or two years, with the rise of "mini-books" and "MID", the use of browsers on these devices has become the "Focus" of competition ". Microsoft IE 8 and Chrome are both outstanding, and Firefox is outdated. The world is growing fast! If you do not want to innovate, you must be outdated.
As you know, the key to the security of internet mobile devices lies in browsers. When surfing with a "mini-book", the trojan will come in and find you. how terrible it is. Looking at the night sky in the east, Chrome is like a star rising, and the dawn of hope is coming.
(Note: yesterday, I bought two famous books, one is Hilbert's "mathematical problem", and the other is the "identification of a mathematician ",......, it seems that he has returned to the passionate age more than 50 years ago. From the perspective of pure mathematics, to observe the development of modern software, the Linux model is closer to the scientific way of thinking .)
