Chromium Browser in Lucid Repository Now!

For those who don't know what Chromium Browser is, here's some hints.
Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code. It implements the same feature set as Google Chrome, but has a slightly different logo.
One of the major aims of the project is for Chrome to be a tabbed window manager, or shell for the web, as opposed to it being a traditional browser application. The idea is for the application to be minimalist in the same way Windows Explorer or Mac OS X's Finder are minimalist. The developers state that it "should feel lightweight (cognitively and physically) and fast".
This week, there is one good news for ubuntu user all around the world. Chromium Browser has entered into the Ubuntu repository list, precisely at the universe repository.


Previously, Firefox 3.6 has become the top choice by Ubuntu users. However It seems will soon be replaced by Chromium, where a series of tests recently  Chromium's JavaScript performance is four times better than Firefox's.
So what browser you choose? You set yourself.
