You are talking about two different things.  If you want to read about
a package without worrying about running the code, then yes, go to
Google, and be sure to check out the SqueakMap page.

If, however, you want to *use* a package, you will need to load it.
For that, you should go to the package universe browser.  For Squeak
3.7, only 2/5 of the packages on SqueakMap actually load.  For Squeak
3.9, it is 1/5.  In package universes, the answer is 100% for both of
them, and it will be 100% for 3.10 as well.
