chromium
julianb:
If anyone is wondering why chromium would fail to start but not give any error message, try running chromium from the command line.
--- Code: ---/usr/local/chromium-browser/chromium-browser
--- End code ---
If you install Chromium while you have an older (downloaded before 12/15/09) version of the "nss-nspr" package you must update it or delete & reinstall this library.
you may go to ((main menu))/Tools/Appsaudit, click "actions"/"build database", then choose the nss-nspr package, "actions"/"mark for deletion", and restart the computer & install package again.

Info updated"
--- Code: ---Title: chromium-browser.tcz
Description: Chromium Web Browser.(TESTING)
Version: 4.0.272.0 (34718)
Author: Chromium Authors

Extension_by: Arslan S.
Comments: -When Chromium asks you about making it the default browser
just click don't ask again.
-msttcorefonts is recommended. You can get them here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=4297.0
-dejavu-fonts-ttf.tcz is an alternative.
For Xfce4 and LXDE users:
-Making chromium the default browser currently does not work.
However you can do it yourself.
-xdg-utils.tcz is recommend. (When you download a file and click on
"open file location", xdg-open is called by chromium.)
-Remember chromium for linux is still in beta stage. So it has known
issues. For example there are reported flashplayer crashes.
-Also note that this is not Google Chrome. This is Chromium, the open
source project behind Google Chrome. Chrome is the official build of
Google. To see the differences between Chromium and Chrome:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome
-One of the best features of Chromium is the extensions. Extensions
can be reached from the main menu. Note that some extensions are
not yet supported on linux.
-The other feature is the themes. You download and install themes or
create yours. Options->Personal Stuff->Appearance click "Get themes"
This is built from source for i686 with sse2 instructions.
Disabling this will have a performance impact but will
allow it run on pentium III maybe.
Here you can find a list of cpus supporting sse2:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2
(probably this is also the list of cpus supported by current build)
Note: nss-nspr.tczl is updated. Make sure you have the updated one.
To find it out open up a terminal and type:
"find /usr/local/lib | grep softokn3.so | xargs ldd | grep sqlite3"
If there is no output then you have to update nss-nspr.tczl first.
This extension is PPI compatible.

Arslan S.:
just figured out xdg-utils does not support LXDE
xdg-utils supports gnome, kde and xfce only
also font selection does not seem to have any effect except the size and the "fixed-width font", this is also the same for firefox, changing font has no effect except the size

-dejavu-fonts-ttf.tcz is an alternative.
Note about fonts: Fonts selected is used when rendering web pages. That's why they are recommended.
However changing font has no effect currently. So you don't really need fonts. But fonts are good :D
For Xfce4 users:
-Chromium can now make itself the default browser.
-xdg-utils.tcz is recommend. (This is needed to detect and launch preferred applications.)
-Remember chromium for linux is still in beta stage. So it has known
issues. For example there are reported flashplayer crashes.
