Bugginess is not what I need when I have three browsers that are mega-stable (firefox, flock and opera) right now.

For example the dropdown menu in MediaTemple's admin panel wouldn't be rendered, even though it was a regular dropdown menu (as far as I can remember). It also had a few issues with transparency.

If Chromium is as easy as most Linux software it should be as simple as:

That's fairly easy, no? :-)

Although the downside is since there are only developmental releases available it may not be worth compiling just to play with a semi-functional, buggy browser.

What bugs are you referring to and are they security or presentation related? Not sure what you mean because Chrome uses the identical rendering engine to Safari – webkit.

The engine itself was fine (webkit), but it had a bunch of bugs that shouldn't be in it.
