Google Chrome Ported to Nokia N900 Maemo Phone


After Mozilla Firefox for Nokia N900 here comes Google Chrome browser unofficially ported to Nokia N900 Maemo phone. This version is based on Debian 32 bit release with flash support. Jacekowski is the guy behind this porting. Thought current build is sort of buggy but in future we may get stable release.

If you want to install Google Chrome on N900 then below are the complete instructions taken from meegoportal,

1. Go to this site and download libxss-1.1.3.deb and chromium-5.0.369.2.deb

2. You must have root access

Then launch a terminal and do

sudo gainroot

cd “wherever you downloaded the packages into”

dpkg -i libxss-1.1.3.deb

dpkg -i chromium-5.0.369.2.deb

Then just start the application and you are running Chromium the open source version of Google Chrome
