Mark Shuttleworth Interview: Google Chrome Will Be Default Browser on Ubuntu

    About a year ago on Habré there was a topic with the same subject in which this news was discussed as some kind of rumor. However, last week, the head of Canonical, Mark Shuttleworth, in an interview with Network World made a curious statement regarding aspects of the possible future of his flagship product.

    In general, characterizing the interview, we can say that it is saturated with a positive attitude to such products manufactured by Google as the Chrome browser and the Chrome OS operating system. Praising Google for creating a cross-platform product, Shuttleworth observes that "... working with Chrome on Linux may be better than working with Chrome on other systems," meaning Windows and Mac. Also, the Canonical chapter is seriously considering the possibility of changing the default browser in Ubuntu from the current FireFox to Chrome. In October “Oneiric Ocelot” this will definitely not happen yet, and since the next version 12.04 should be the LTS version (long-time support) of the system, you probably should not expect a change in it either. The most likely candidate for the appearance of Chrome as the default browser is called the version of Ubuntu, which is due out in October 2012.
