“Before explaing how to install it, let me just specify
we’re talking about alpha builds, and pretty incomplete ones.
Just basic web surfing works.: Chromium may don’t work, make your
loose data or make your loose your cat. Remember if that anything
breaks, you’re on your own – install it only if you’re confortable
with restoring your system/data. Also keep in mind this disclaimer
on the PPA’s launchpad page:

“Ubuntu daily builds of the Chromium browser.
The PPA is maintained by a bot, so it contains completely untested
builds, mostly useful to track regressions or if you are curious,
or just brave.
The package is still a work-in-progress, so is Chromium, please be
patient.
FAQ: no native 64bit debs planed for now. The amd64 package is
using ia32-libs.
Project page for Chromium in Ubuntu:
