Google Chrome for Mac Beta finally released
The Google Chrome internet browser has been released in beta format for Mac, finally. The browser has been very much anticipated in the Mac Action office, or at least I’ve been desperately waiting for it.
Don’t get me wrong, Safari is a brilliant browser offering blistering speed but in my experience at least is not the most stable browser out there. Safari’s instability by no means renders Safari unusable but when your browser goes down with hordes of pages open it can get annoying. This is particularly true when considering Safari doesn’t have the brilliant Firefox feature that reopens all pages that have just crashed. OK, Chrome doesn’t have that feature either but I’ve been using Chrome on my home PC for quite some time and it essentially never crashes no matter what you’re doing. The Mac version is obviously only a beta at the moment and beta software of any nature is notoriously unstable so it remains to be seen if Chrome for Mac is as good as the PC version, only time will tell.
The new beta for Chrome is the 4.0.249.30 build and requires an Intel-based Mac with Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. Chrome for Linux is also currently floating around somewhere if you’re interested.
