As announced back in December, Google stopped supporting Google Chrome on 32-bit Linux starting this month. Users running a 32bit Linux distribution are advised to stop using Google Chrome because, while it will continue to work, it will no longer receive any updates (including no security fixes).

The 32-bit build configurations for Chromium continues to be supported, so you can still use Chromium browser on 32-bit Linux distributions.

The project is not new but it wasn't updated for about two years, until recently, when its developer added some new features along with English support (French was already supported).

Update: the latest Google2Ubuntu adds German, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese (BR and PT) and Italian support. The new version also includes a menu to change the language, a dictation mode, new setup window along with some other improvements.

Picasa for Linux isn't a native Linux application and instead, it uses WINE which comes bundled with it (so the user doesn't have to install WINE), though it does have some tweaks to make it integrate better with Linux. Well, even this Wine Picasa for Linux has been deprecated by Google.

Picasa 3.9 was released a while back and among the new features are: share pictures to Google Plus, Picasa name tags for Google Plus, new photo editing effects and side by side editing.
