[ale] Google Chrome just got a lot better on Linux

[Jeff Lightner]

Sorry but a company that keeps tabs on everything you do on the internet
via little javascript embeds in every web page is unlikely to ever
convince me to use them for my browser.  Firefox lets me block their
little embed.   I use Google for searching but don't think it is smart
to use them for much more.

The Google OS is going to be a reality.

There are already add-ons in an experimental state. I haven't tried to
use them in Linux. But the work is under way.
