Anyone interested in making a 64bit version available? I recently read on Slashdot that there is one now.
Thanks, Richard

yes you do.
Setup /etc/yum.repos.d/chromium.repo and put this in it,
[chromium] name=Chromium Test Packages baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
and in "yum install chromium" and it will get the dependencies you need

That worked for me, but when I try to view video it claims that Flash is not installed, which it is (64-bit Adobe version). There doesn't appear to be a way to configure this.

I put symlinks in /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins to all the files in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and Flash now works for me.

Do all videos use Flash? I looked at a couple of what I would call videos, and they seemed to work. (This was 32-bit, without any plugins deliberately installed.)
The thing I would miss most if I went over to chrome would be the google toolbar. It seems very surprising this isn't available, in view of the connection with google.

Its all mashed up in the "address bar". If you just start typing words, it'll come up with suggestions from history/bookmarks or to search google.

Tried that, but no dice. I keep getting "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
I can't see where Javascript is turned on or off (though the Help implies it's on by default), and libflashplayer.so is one of the plugins in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins, now symlinked to /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins.

Did you read about:linux-splash ?

The ones on Google's own page do, e.g. http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/features.html which is an overview of Chrome features, just shows the text parts with a large box where the video should be. In Firefox I can see it's a Flash video, though I use NoScript to block Flash by default. (I doubt that Chromium has somehow imported my NoScript add-on :-)
I looked at a couple of what I would call videos, and they seemed to work. (This was 32-bit, without any plugins deliberately installed.)
I tried theora.org and blip.tv, both of which use Ogg/Theora. I couldn't get any video on either of them, just large blank rectangles where presumably the video should be.

Read the docs? Oh fie! I did do "chromium-browser -- help" but the magic "--enable-plugins" option is not mentioned there.
When using the option I no longer get the error-message. Unfortunately I don't get the video either, just an endlessly spinning cursor.
I guess I'll wait for the next iteration.

Using x86_64 + flashplayer 64bits -beta-, worked this way:
# ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins

It didn't work for me, even with --enable-plugins.

I get a blank page.
