Google Chrome in Ubuntu on Mac

Time for an episode of Mabuntu Adventures.*

Problem: Chrome crashes when syncing bookmarks
One of the biggest reasons I use Google Chrome browser is because of the ability to sync bookmarks. Trying to keep the same bookmarks on my HP laptop, Mac OSX, and Ubuntu with a browser that doesn't do this would be painful. Currently, Chrome isn't quite stable enough on Mabuntu yet, but from what I gather from reading over forums, a solution could be coming soon. A particular problem is that syncing bookmarks can cause the computer to freeze, requiring a hard reboot.

Solution: What I do is this. I open Chromium and tell it to Sync Bookmarks. Once it does, I immediately tell it to stop syncing. This allows me to import my bookmarks and prevent crashes. If I add a bookmark on another computer and want it on Ubuntu's Chrome, then I just re-sync and de-sync. As a temporary fix, it works great and is barely inconvenient.

Problem: Hitting "Delete" on the Macbook's keyboard doesn't go back a page in Chrome.
Backspace is what I want to use to go back a page in my browsers, although my Microsoft mouse has a Back button that I use to go Back now. Anyways, Apple's equivalent key is "Delete", however hitting it doesn't take you back a page. It's possible to change Firefox settings to allow this to happen, but so far I haven't found a way to customize specific buttons within Chrome.

Solution: I decided to do what no man should ever have to do. Look at the manual. Browsing the Getting Started forum in Google Chrome's Help, I ran across this gem. A list of keyboard shortcuts. So the solution is that I have to hit alt + left to go back a page in Chrome. I'm okay with this, and I'm sure there are other Linux users who have been doing this for years. Now if I can only find out how to change what "Delete" does...

*Mabuntu is my Macbook 1.1 with Ubuntu 10.4 installed.
