Please someone set things straight on the Linux port of Google Chrome.

Maybe I’m completely out to lunch on this, but my impression was that Codeweaver’s port of Google Chrome (using the Chromium project) is really just a demo of what they can do, and not THE Linux version of Chrome.

I have used the Codeweavers port (and pointed others to it for interest sake) but it looks significantly unfinished and feels completely hacked together. I don’t know much about Codeweavers except that they develop solutions using CrossOver which is somehow related to Wine and that this in effect lets Windows programs run in Linux by providing compatible libraries - not by emulation. (Of course the content of this paragraph could be complete hooey and I encourage you to set me straight if it is).

This leads me to the impression that Codeweavers’ Chromium browser on Linux is just a quickly hacked together showcase for what they can do. I had read that there were Linux and Mac developers working on proper ports of Google Chrome for their respective platforms. I would hope that Linux developers would come out with a much more stable and polished product for Linux - wouldn’t that be in Google’s interest anyway?

It seems like there are more and more articles that give the impression that Codeweavers port of Chromium is THE Linux port of Google’s browser. Please, someone tell me this is not the case.
