Google Chrome Coming to Mac

Google Chrome is getting ready to launch a beta version for Mac, according to an article in ComputerWorld. This is not surprising considering the success that Google has had with its Windows version of Chrome. Google states the the beta version "only has 8 bugs left" before it can release the beta version. The downfall of this is that the Mac version will not have as many features as the Windows version. Some of the most popular features that will not be in the beta version are bookmark manager, app mode, task manager, gears, and sync for Mac. There are many other features that will not be available most likely because Google still wants to be able to release their beta version of the browser by the end of the year as planned.

According to the video below by CNET, there are many reasons why some people may not want to try Google Chrome for Mac. Keep in mind, this review was done back in June when all they had was a rough developer version of the browser.



I don't use a Mac and never have so I can't say whether or not this will be a hit with Mac users. Many I presume may have their favorite browser just like Windows users do. I do think that it will become much more popular if they can offer all of the features that are available for Windows and also ones that are available through competitive Mac browsers. If you would like to be notified when the beta version is released, you can sign up at Google and they will email you when it becomes available.
