Google Chrome in FC11

[machin]

thank you so much buddy I was looking for installing google chrome. Thank you for the howto

Have you guys been following the other thread? (I thought it was this one).

At any rate, there's a new 64 bit version of Chrome in the same repo (but you have to uninstall your 32 bit version first), and then if you start with chromium-browser --enable-plugins flash (64 bit) should work.

Thank you for posting this I am downloading right now I'm so excited to give it a try on Linux as I have absolutely loved the speed increase on Winders.

To get 64-bit Flash working for Chromium, this worked for me:

cd /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

I had previously installed 64-bit Flash.

Yes, flash works fine in chromium, as long as chromium is started with --enable-plugins. I even got Java working in it on occasion. (Though other times it crashes.)

Helpful tip for anyone that uses Privoxy and wants to get Chromium working; Use the argument

--proxy-server=127.0.0.1:8118

when launching the application to enable proxy web browsing.

Font size is too small. Is there any way to increase font size permanently?

That does not work for me. I still have to manually press Ctrl +++ for each page.

And anyone knows how to speed up the mouse scroll in Chromium. It is too slow, even though I configured the mouse setting in System setting -> Keyboards & Mouse.

The installation's perfect. I just followed the guide at fergytech. A tip though, before messing around with the plugins or right after installing chromium, open the browser up and it will import the settings from firefox. This worked for my system im on x86_64. I didn't link plugins manually - everything's good to go.
