Chrome for Mac and Linux Before Q3 of 2009
by Wyatt WalterAccording to CNET, Google has promised a Mac and Linux version of its Chrome browser by the middle of 2009. Chrome for Windows went into a non-beta state (which is a big accomplishment for Google) in December of 2008. CNET has a poll on their site asking what users’ biggest barrier to entry to Google Chrome is and the lack of Mac and Linux versions was number 2 and 4 respectively. Number one was better performance and number 3 was plugins and an RSS manager and reader. Zimbra did test on browser performance when Chrome came out and performance-wise it did slightly worse than Safari but better than Firefox 3 and IE8. Google is also working on an extension platform that it says will “develop over time”.
You can follow the development status here and find a “pre-beta” version of Chrome for Mac here.
