The Linux version of Chrome has been coming along fairly quickly, the latest development build of Chrome (Chromium) for Linux now works with Flash and has extension support. It is also possible to configure the options (although there are still some TODO stubs so setting a proxy isn’t possible, EDIT: Try the –proxy-server argument). Tested under Ubuntu 9.04 64bit.
