Google Chrome 35 with Aura interface has arrived

It is well known that Google Chrome has previously released the Aura interface in past versions of Google Chrome, but this has not been at all a normal launch as we are used to, put exactly on Tuesday May 20, 2014, Google just released Chrome 35 with the Aura interface, precisely made for GNU / Linux.

Google Chrome 35

What's new in Google Chrome

At first glance, we realize that the Aura interface does have a design that is much more similar to that of its counterpart for Windows, especially in the finishing of the tabs, in the design of the options and in the scroll bars.

google-chrome-35-options

google-chrome-35-finish

In addition, for users of UbuntuIf you have desktop applications, a small Chrome applications window is run to launch them. In case of using an interface other than Unity o GNOME 3, it will only appear as an additional menu to the main menu.

On the notifications side, it will appear in case of running applications that require them (for Google+, there is still a lack of roughness, since the notifier indicates that there is good news, but it does not show them). Under the hood quite a few improvements have been made like new JavaScript features, polished in the menu Configuration, more control for developers over touch input and DOM Shadows without prefixes.

And if that were not enough, Google Chrome they do pay to discover security bugs in Chromium, of which the most valuable bugs were an Integer overflow in the audio and in Use-after-free en Styles.

At the moment, this version of Chrome is available from the same Google web page, which is available in Red Hat / Fedora / CentOS and OpenSUSE (.rpm) and Ubuntu / Debian (.deb) packages. As for its parent version, we will have to wait until the distros bring it up to par with the official version (in the case of Debian, they will be ready in the main repo starting next week).

    Well, in ArchLinux there is already Chromium 35 which I think, it already comes with Aura, but I don't see any notifications anywhere.

      Because even the implementation of the Aura interface is still a headache for many that even Ubuntu does not include it by default.

    iron they remove ALL spy code FROM chrome
    WHY does chromiun on linux not do the same as iron?

    1.    diazepam said

      because chromium does google do it?

      1.    elav said

        This is U_U

      2.    t said

        what I'm saying is that in iron they remove the spy code from the google browser source code; On the other hand, in chromiun linux no, in chromiun linux they do not remove the spy code that brings the source code of the nav. of Google

          Chromium is the same for linux and for windows.

          I find that statement disrespectful, knowing that there are security teams in RedHat, Debian and many others in charge of reviewing packages line by line (this same note says that Debian will take a week to upload it). To be more secure, netstat chrome and chromium. Chrome, even if you deactivate all the advanced options, it is permanently connected to a google server, even if you do nothing. That does not happen in its free counterpart.

          1.    eliotime3000 said

            That same. Chrome's automatic reporting system (or RLZ system for friends) is already included and working, but in Chromium, it is not even included (and I have taken the trouble to constantly use the nightly builds of Chromium for Windows) .

        3.    eliotime3000 said

          Even the Chrome reporting system (RLZ), it's Open Source. In Chromium, the Health reporting system does not come by default in all versions of Chromium, which must be used in the automatic detection of bugs caused by the proprietary components that have been included.

          What you should worry about is how to delete your GMail account, which, thanks to the magic of ECMAScript, analyzes each of your searches and the emails that come out so that the Google AdWords implemented in the web pages that have it implemented improve in advertising (valid for all browsers, just in case).

        Because Apple Safari did not know how to take advantage of all the advantages of the webkit rendering engine, in addition to being bad at rendering web pages in its version for Windows (thank goodness it has already died for Windowsers).

        1.    diazepam said

          It was not a question but a question-sounding answer.

          1.    eliotime3000 said

            Well, I was saying it because before Chrome, the only known browser that used Webkit on Windows was Apple Safari, which, in its version 4, was from Guatemala at worst.

        2.    Douglas said

          Why do you mention Guatemala?

          1.    eliotime3000 said

            For irony.

    2.    eliotime3000 said

      Because Chromium is the real Google project, and Chrome is the commercial fork that makes it profitable thanks to the telepathy system it has in Chrome (Firefox also has its own, but first it gives you the choice to activate it or not, and in Chromium, no it's included).

        In iron they say that they remove the spy code from the chromiun source code
        SRWare Iron: The browser of the future - based on the free Sourcecode "Chromium" - without any problems at privacy and security "
        the question is why in linux they don't do the same with chromiun?

        1.    Dago said

          Your question should be: Why is there no SRware Iron for linux?

          1.    eliotime3000 said

            That's the same question that I stop asking myself every time a Chromium update hits the nightly branch ...

          2.    Akira kazama said

            There is SRWare Iron for GNU / Linux:

            @Akira:

            Iron's Linux port has not been updated since last year.

          4.    Akira kazama said

            Not updated from last year? But if the announcement is from a month ago and that version of Iron is based on Chromium 34, the same one that the current version of Windows is based on ...

      I would not be so sure of that statement-question, but knowing that there is a chromium packaged by debian (later uploaded to ubuntu), which is monitored and modified by its maintainers. For making modifications that distribution came to a conflict with Mozilla, from which Iceweasel came out.

      1.    mario said

        ps: to mention modifications, in the chromium compiled by google the executable is ./chrome, and there is a wrapper. Instead in ubuntu and debian these things disappear, and the executable is called chromium-browser. In slackware according to lei (I can be wrong) sandbox is not used. The google compilation also includes locations, but not the distributions, which comes separately.

        1.    eliotime3000 said

          In Windows, almost the same thing happens: if you have Google Chrome, the executable is called chrome.exe, and the Chromium executable is homonymous to Chrome, with the clear difference that both browsers have different folder locations and different records for which they save The preferences.

    And yesterday I got Chromium 35 stable on Gentoo. As I did not have the "aura" useflag in the ebuild, I did not know whether to compile it, but I took the 2 hours of compilation to find out and, indeed, it brings Aura by default, in addition to notifications on the desktop and all that, they are perfectly displayed in KDE.

    That would be 😀

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      In Gentoo, you have the advantage of seeing if the source code is worth it or not and you don't fool around when it comes to compiling it, but in the case of Ubuntu, Google beat them in the integration to Unity.

    for now i don't change firefox
    chrome stopped using it months ago

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      The same I say, since now I feel that Chrome 35 feels heavy for my Debian, also that it lacks a lot to improve in the aspect of graphic acceleration (although this factor is mainly due to the layer 8 error).

  5.   blackgem said

    Could someone tell me a way to check the notifications? I have always been using dev either chromium or chrome.

    I would also like to know if anyone knows any way to effectively limit the consumption of ram, because for a long time they no longer die alone when they reach an exorbitant consumption but they slow down and almost freeze the system, the extension of suspending eyelashes is not being me either effective enough.

  6.   Mordraug said

    Well, I've been testing it and I honestly think that Firefox is superior: D. Now, in my case and in some isolated cases with * buntu 12.04 it happened that in chrome the google services did not work: it appeared as if there was no connection, but it was fixed by doing a clean installation of chrome (no update) and disabling dnsmasq ( eye with dnsmasq in case they use google dns), this only happened to me in isolated cases but there is the anecdote ^^

    Good for google and its project of world domination 😉

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      World domination is not Google's goal (actually, it is the control and preservation of information).

    For me this version 35 is a disaster. The fonts do not match the desktop theme, the tabs appear distorted, I do not doubt that it is faster but the visual aspect is terrible.

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      That's true, since the Aura interface totally dislodged the design of the XFCE, GNOME, and KDE desktop environment.

    ..mm chrome I haven't used it for a while

  10.   blackmartalpha.net said

    The truth is that I don't like chrome at all, I always use Firefox, but chrome never ceases to amaze me.

      I liked it before, because of how light it was, but each novelty gets worse, although visually it's cool
