Google Chrome Browser
Google. The new Microsoft.
Nifty.
Now tell me when they've made a Mac version, and I'll be the first in line.

Fuck yeah, another Browser I get to bug fix for. Now if only IE would die a horrible death...
Snax: Chrome uses WebKit, so it should render the same as Safari does. The only problem I can would be JavaScript since it uses its own engine.
I tried it out on my Windows partition, and I found it to execute JavaScript faster than any other browser I've tried. Add some polish and a Mac version, and it'll definitely be my main browser.

Except it uses an ancient version of WebKit. And despite being "open source", there's a distinct lack of source.
I'll wait to see how WebKit+SquirrelFish works. And maybe Gecko+Tracemonkey.

I want to see Chrome on OS X.
slime, read some more:
"Right now, the Mac build is a work in progress that is much closer to the start than the finish. No application that renders web pages is generated at the end of these instructions!" like, right at the top of the page there. heh
It also only works on Intel macs
But I'm using it on my PC. Very nice.
What I think is odd tho.. it's built around WebKit, which is what Safari is, and Safari runs fine on Mac OS X, both PPC and Intel... soooo.. hmm
