Google Chrome browser for Mac coming later this year? You can test it now.

Safari will always be my favorite browser. On the other hand, I am using a beta of Firefox 3.7 (Minefield) and it screams. IMHO, Google messed up huge by waiting sooooo long to get a Mac version of Chrome. And will Chrome ever make it to Linux? Opera is my favorite browser when using Ubuntu. Sorry Google ... snooze, you loose.

I've been using the Chromium builds for a while now and I have to say the reason I've not switched to Google Chrome already (though I have on the PC) is the lack of a fully-featured bookmark manager and a lack of 1Password support.

Chrome support for 1Password is something Agile wants to add but until it hits full release it's not on the top of their priorities. 1Password 3.0 is and fair enough.

Once Chrome because more fully-featured I'll definitely switch.

Right now Chrome and Safari are bouncing back and forth for the fastest browser when it comes to page rendering but that app itself, well Chrome is faster.

As a web designer I have to say, I don't care which people use. It's WebKit. It's going to be a good browser. Just so long as more people move away from IE I'm happy. The only problem with it coming to Mac is there aren't really any bad browsers on the Mac.

I have been using both the Chrome and Chromium beta's on my Macbook Pro for about two months now. They are fast but they do have some frustrating compatibility issues on many sites. Adding Javascript bookmarklets has also been problematic. Before I switched to Mac in May of this year I used Chrome almost exclusively on Windows Vista.

I am not using Chrome as of yet. But, isn't the upcoming release of HTML5 the game changer? I recall something about Chrome being the only browser to commit to supporting both standards for video. Apple and Firefox chose sides while the boys over @ MS, not that it matters to TUAW readers/Mac users, are going their own way. TUAW could you do a refresh on this story and what it will mean for all web development across platforms. It has been a while since I have seen anything on the decisions made by the browser developers and HTML5.

I just recently switched to Safari from Firefox, so I thought I would give Chrome a test drive before I got too attached. As much as I liked the speed of Chrome, Safari has them over a barrel as far as the look and feel are concerned.

Will be interesting to see if Chrome/Mac can better Stainless. I don't know. I just know I like Stainless, even now, before it's full-featured. ;)

Of course, Safari is completely unchallenged as my go-to browser. :D

While Safari is very fast. I do enjoy FF because of the add-ons that make it more efficient than Safari. Also, I have experienced some of the Safari crashes and slowing down in SL .

Chrome will be interesting to try, but 1passowrd support is a must. Opera offers an interesting browser, but without 1password support it is a non-starter.

Is the Dev (developer) version of Chrome 4, not the Beta.

First impression - Looks cool. But I used this app for a while, Its pretty slow compared to Safari. Its quite buggy. Main UI clutters on resizing the main window.

Been using it for about three weeks now, and changed back to Safari yesterday. The speed is terrific, and the layout really is a great change, especially with the tabs above the address bar.

But its lack of compatibility with some sites (can't pay for eBay items with Paypal as it won't transfer you, unless the seller issues a Paypal invoice) and inability to print web pages (can't print delivery notes from Amazon marketplace) has had me tearing my hair out.

Hopefully my three weeks has given the Google team some feedback, but it's not suitable for further use until it's rolled out indefinitely.
