Google Chrome Browser Finally Available For Mac [Updated]
Almost a year after launching its own browser for Windows Google has just now released Chrome for Mac. The beta version is now available for download here. Though when compared to its Windows counter part a few features will be missing as of now but they should get updated shortly. Chrome has redefined the browsing experience on Windows and I hope Chrome for Mac will be just as good.

FF on Mac is slow like Molasses, I have no problems with Safari and I have come to really like it since dropping FF.
I have been using Chrome dev builds on Mac now for some months and Chrome feels light and nimble. It really is a nice experience using Chrome.
@Tech Dust
I am a big fan of Chrome browser barring its flash/silverlight bug and no support for bitcomet. It is fast to launch, fast to load,follows CSS standards and saves metadata in standard format(I donno why firefox saves the bookmark as .json in windows and as .html in linux.).
I am waiting for an ubuntu release(of course without wine) of chrome.

I just found a .deb for chrome on ubuntu but it is says unstable.
Nevermind I have it installed and running as charm.

Well yes.. chrome is way ahead, any day. There is an interesting test/check for browsers. It tests whether or not a browser follows web standards.
Chrome 100/100
FF 90+/100
IE – <50/100
Test it yourself – http://acid3.acidtests.org/
Intro Wikipedia Page – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3
IE is the worst browser amongst the three.
Nice links.
Web Designers are the sufferers of this browser idiosyncrasies.
Still due to large market share IE will have to be considered for many more days.
