Dan Kegel and Evan Martin: Google Chrome for Linux is finally ready for beta

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-unstable
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-beta

Looks like a clean substitution: icon in my gnome panel still works, history is preserved, etc.  I’ve not noted any significant issues with the “unstable” version, but perhaps this beta will be updated slightly less frequently the unstable version.

Biggest miss for me is PDF viewing.  Like others, about:plugins shows Adobe Acrobat, but actually visiting a PDF gives me a black window.

Admittedly petty issues: with Firefox: I’m accustomed to typing in part of an address in the Navigation Toolbar, hitting tab and then enter.  With Chrome it is down then enter.  Finally, entering a / starts a search on the page with Firefox, with Chrome it does nothing.
