intertwingly

This has been working on  my ubuntu box for the last few weeks (via an automatic update), didn’t need enabling. Not sure why my machine is blessed in this way.

I remember upstream disabling the plugin for Mac and Linux due to some kind of bug.
Guess it still hasn’t been enabled again for those platforms.

You know, I was going to check that before I posted, really I was. But then I probably wouldn’t have posted because it’s not in 6.0.472.53, which is the mainline version in Ubuntu 10.04.

It didn’t work for me either in 6.0.something under Linux, even after enabling the plugin (whereas it worked on Windows in the same version). I’m now on 7.0.517.8/Linux (I follow Chrome’s -unstable) and it works there, beautifully.

I just installed google-chrome-unstable, and got 7.0.517.13 dev — I concur, it is beautiful.  And fast.

Reviewing locally generated PDFs is a big part of my workflow as a book author, and to date, I have never been happy with my options here.

This may be enough to get me to switch to chrome.

Not (yet) ready for prime time: links don’t work.  Neither intra-document links or links to web pages can be used to navigate.  However, the ability to search quickly within the document does mitigate this considerably.

Having checked, I am using google-chrome-unstable on ubuntu. A life on the bleeding edge is really pretty stable.
