I have seen both Chrome and Chromium go ape s#&$ on my system. While

And yes, Google does EVERYTHING in Linux. They use Ubuntu as the
corporate standard in house.
I've heard as much, but their products continue to be highly unstable
under linux, so I somewhat doubt this. It's been shite for me since
early 30's of releases, and just gets worse now.
But sometimes I think they suffer from the same problem as Sun used
to... they are so used to nearly inexhaustible pockets, they forget
that sometimes people have old, small machines.
This is 4000k proc, 32gb of ddr3, and ssd's - nothing slouch about this
system, and yet some software, like chrom* makes this thing behave like
windoze me at times, like just about any flipping compositor. Big or
little, their software is proving, microsoft-like, and disturbing it can
make linux freak out still this bad.
Case in point, vmware refuses to launch their view client for work
stuff, I can't even launch firefox to avoid chrome stupidity now until I
kill every google process and/or restart to flush everything. Here I
am rebooting to make it sane again for the moment. :\
Sadly I find using mozilla isn't fully sufficient for as much
integration around various google-app integrated things I rely on now,
I'm starting to feel that same m$-ish lock-in. Sub-par software
handling of most of my workflow under linux that perhaps I need to
rethink dependence on them and chrome as an application server.
