Your sweet-tasting Raspberry Pi just got a big speed boost courtesy of the new Raspbian build, now you can soup up your browsing even further with a brand new Pi-compatible Chromium install.
Famed ChromiumOS developer, Hexxeh, has worked his magic on a Chromium build, the truly open-source variant and root of Google’s Chrome, releasing it in beta for all to surf the interwebs at speed.
You’ll have to grab the binaries and compile it yourself, but you’re already running Linux on the Pi, so you’ll probably be at least partially familiar with what it takes to grab programs like this. Hexxeh suggests over-clocking your Pi, plus using a fast USB drive or SD card to get a decent browsing experience. It’s still very much beta, and this is the first release, but it’s a great step up for fans of Chrome — this should make browsing on the Pi slightly easier to live with.

Sounds like things are heating up with the R-Pi, might need to dust off the little board and mess around with it this weekend
How was your night last night Sam? I hear you went to see a film? i drank your share of the free bar for you, just seemed the right thing to do!
Are you sure it was just your and Sam’s share you were drinking? There were several times in the evening when you transformed into Edward Bottlehands.
LOL!!! yes, i have that habit, i can comfortably hold 3 in each hand and have been known to attempt 4! it’s just a good thing i decided to start on the champagne, wine, Martini’s & Mohito’s first, if i had gone straight onto the beers i probably would have started by bombing them, 4 consecutive bottles is my record, though i have heard of people doing a dozen!
I still don’t know what to do with my PI
