Although not officially announced by Google, it seem Google programmers have started working on Chrome for Linux big time. Currently it is obvious that the development is in a very rudimentary stage. On the development for Chrome for Linux (which is currently just a “test shell on Linux”), developer Aaron Boodman explains, “The test shell is a very simple browser that the Chromium development team uses for testing our integration with WebKit,” the engine that decodes HTML to render a Web page in the browser. “It is the first step of porting Chromium to a new platform”. He also said, “The team is still a long ways from even getting the Web to render correctly, let alone building the real browser UI (user interface). But it’s exciting to see things falling a little more into place each day.”
