How install google chromium on debian stable?


I find this possible solution:
CrossOver Chromium for Ubuntu and Debian (32 bit)
but i don't like much.
Are there alternative simple but that avoid problem on the system?

try using

Code:
dpkg -i google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb
you gotta do that when your in the directory with the .deb

you could also install gdebi-gtk and have a gui to install deb's

It seems the OP is actually looking for the free version "Chromium" instead of the binaries from google. Does anyone know if there are source or binary Debian packages?

Cheers,

Thanks.

Some times ago I have tried the alternative Iron (on archlinux) a browser based on the Souce code of Chromium but without privacy problems.

I have tried directly from package because i haven't see the presence of the binary
4.0.227 Beta for Linux
and i have noticed some problem on the flash, for example don't appear the progressive indication number when you upload file using hosting service based on flash, while now on debian stable 32 bit i have tried the binary but unfortunately don't go for the lack of a gilbc 2.8.

However i think someone could even give a look, seem an interesting alternative.

Note:

I have looked for the binary version.
This package is installed on /opt so the system remain untouched and it's what i want.

Just to answer my own question regarding Chromium packages for Debian:
