CrossOver creates Chromium just to show they can do it

Save your money and run Virtual Box - it's back by Sun.

Works great and is FREE!

We already have a great, fast WebKit-based browser. Doesn't the Crossover team have more important apps to work on getting to run than this pile of junk?

fyi:

You really think that there's an apostrophe in "allows"? Please can we have some real English speakers on TUAW?

And, yes, Chrome *will* come to the Mac, but just don't hold your breath. Just like Photosynth will eventually.

CrossOver is a fine effort. Definitely not perfect or ready for prime time, but it's getting closer. I would like to see Apple put some backing behind it and make it work seamlessly in OS X. That would completely kill the need to purchase Windows in any form. Wouldn't that be nice.

Compared to Windows Virtual Machines like Parallels and VMWare Fusion, CrossOver has a very very small foot print. 1+ gigs compared to 20+ gigs.

It isn't near perfect but I'm voting for it to improve with age.

Chromium worked better for me than Explorer did in CrossOver.

I'm actually posting this from CrossOver Chromium and I can say, after having used it in Windows, to stay away from this until Google officially ports it to OS X. It runs decent, but the real areas where Chromium shines get lost in translation. The new tab page isn't nearly as fast as it should be, the context sensitive status bar at the bottom is broken, URLs and buttons don't fit properly in their elements on the window, mouse wheel scrolling is borked.

Chromium is pretty nice, but not CrossOver Chromium.

Google Chrome is coming to the mac, check out the Google Mac blog for more information. As of Sept 2nd there is no actual Chrome app for the mac but it will be out very soon. They explain that the Windows version was used in the design/prototype stages so it has a significant head start over the Mac and Linux versions so stay tuned!

It's all just advertising for CrossOver

"Let this be a lesson, Google: don't tell virtual software developers what they can't do."

Ahem what are you talking about here? Google are not discouraging people from making their own ports. They are however taking their time to do the Mac port properly though, right?

What? I thought Chrome was coming to the Mac. Why else would I have filled out the form notifying me when it becomes available?

CrossOver is wrong. While it installed and ran under Linux, it crashed the entire system within few minutes of use. FAILED!
