Chrome for OS X before 2010

by Aron Trimble Nov 19th 2009 at 2:30PM

Google is making some big announcements today during their Chrome OS press event. In addition to the official announcement for Chrome OS they also let another little tidbit of information loose:
"Just this year alone in Chrome, there's tons of new stuff coming. Before this year gets over, we'll have 3 more announcements to make. Chrome for Mac will be ready, very close to launch."
That's some pretty good news for those of you out there who are running the developer preview and are looking forward to integrating Chrome into your daily browsing.

I find that Chrome for MAC works great - the only drawback is that 1 Password doesn't work with Chrome.

why does it say Chrome OS "X" in the title?

I can't use Chrome as my main browser until 1Password supports it.

Seriously, why do I want Chrome over Safari? Geeks keep chanting to use FireFox, but FF on the Mac should be name FireSux. What does Chrome offer to make you switch, other than it's not Safari?

Safari's still faster, so I haven't changed my browsing habits. Still, if they could get more third party add-ons, it may be worth looking into

I wonder if this will kill Firefox on OS X. Extensions are cool, but the performance just plain sucks compared to the Windows version.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Not unless it gets an extensions architecture.

And why does it need to "kill" another browser? Isn't there room for two or more browsers?

I've been compiling Chromium from source for a few weeks and have had absolutely zero problems with it. I'm using it full time instead of Safari.

You want facts? "what if your browser was your operating system. new OS no kernel, no all.... BIOS was redesigned?"

It's like they made a mobile OS and applied in a computer

See the Chrome's detailed review: http://bit.ly/google-chrome-os-best-or-worst-judge-it

Sounds promising, but only for my netbook.. there's no way in hell I will use this for my desktop (just in case BIG G decided to used this on PC in the future)
