Chrome coming to Mac by the fall…so says Google

Those Mac users and Chrome hopefuls who are waiting for their chance to use Google’s wonder browser natively on the Mac’s still have a bit of a wait ahead of them. According to a “state of the browser” address by several bloggers and developers working on the Chromium (Mac verision) browser have said that they would be “very surprised and unhappy” if there wasn’t a functioning public version by fall. Yes fall. It seems so far away. So far they have cocoa shell wrapped around Chromium but it is highly unstable. Only developers and people who know how to compile code and mess around in terminal should even think about looking at using Chromium right now. On one side I want it to come fast as the screenshot above shows a very good looking browser that hopefully performs as well as it’s Windows counterpart. Though at the same time, being an outdoorsy person, I want the summer to stay as looooong as possible. Interested parties can stay up to date by following Pinkerton’s blog here, or by stopping by the Mac Status Detailed Status page. Chromium for Mac is not far off folks. It’s just around the bend.
