Google team has disappointed all the Mac users by not providing a Mac version for Google Chrome browser. Currently, Google Chrome is only available for Windows users with nice and simple design.
However, it seems Google Chrome for Mac and Linux users will be available soon. Here’s what Mike Pinkerton has to say on the progress of it.
Just wanted to give a quick update on the progress we’ve made over the last week in the mac/linux porting effort. I’ll let the linux folks followup with exactly what they have working and focus on what’s working for Mac.
We made a list early in the week of the key classes on the critical path to getting a renderer launching and showing bits on the screen. Our goal was to have a renderer being spawned by launching the browser by the end of this week. The list is now almost all green and as of this morning we hit our goal (one day early!) to have renderer
processes launched. In fact, we launch a new renderer with each tab, and when the tab is closed, the renderer goes away!! You can see it come and go in Activity Monitory. All this goes through the cross-platform infrastructure with a Cocoa front-end.We don’t (yet) have the renderer doing anything besides receiving some initialization IPC messages, that work will arrive in the coming days as we get RenderView hooked up. It’s been a group effort, kudos to everyone for pulling together and helping get browser and renderer operational!
