I have been using the latest chrome browser for Linux (build 3.0.190.2) in Ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope for the last 24 hours.
Its really awesome fast. I feel its better than the Windows build (Performance on Windows doesnt really beat Linux).To feel it for yourselves checkout the latest build from the below links.
And now the cons:
1) Font rendering for some languages (Indian languages Hindi and Telugu) was missing. (below is screen shot)
2) Although a flash plug-in was installed in Linux on my laptop, was not able to use flash. Reinstalling flash fixed the issue.
To conclude, although its a early dev release the build was really good. It was not as bad as I first thought and did not crash at any instance.
