A few days ago Opera released the first beta of Opera 10. Today, Google pretty silently published very early Google Chrome builds for Mac OS X and Linux. According to Google’s Chrome team blog, this very early build is not intended for download – which obviously, I could not resist – because it lacks essential stuff: The ability to watch YouTube videos, privacy settings and changing your search provider to bing.

Google’s browser is based on the open source Chromium initiative and ships with Google’s V8 JavaScript engine (also open sourced). My personal browsing experience with this dev channel release is quite fine, fast and clean rendering and speedy JavaScript execution. The absence of support for Adobe Flash and some occasional crashes are okay for such an early release.

We should expect Google to release updates on a bi-weekly schedule. Download your copy:

  • Finaly!
  • Chrome 4 mac seems to work on intel machines only.
  • That's pretty crazy it would seem that a company like Google would not release software like that.
  • Recently Google launched Google Chrome Beta. Google Chrome is faster and lighter then Firefox & Internet Explorer so people are rapidly using Chrome. But unfortunately, there is no Google toolbar for Chrome users.
