Those who are familiar with Chrome also know that each browser tab is sandboxed in its own process, opening the door for potential memory slowdowns, but also protecting the overall browsing session from being taken down by a single rogue tab. Page renders are quick and keyboard commands can keep up with my 140wpm fingers, something Safari sometimes even has trouble with from time to time. This is certainly a plus when many alternate browsers (hi, Firefox) are, well, not. Those just installing Chrome will observe that it's incredibly fast-as in, Safari levels of fast. This hands-on is written from the perspective of someone who is familiar with, but otherwise new to Chrome on the Mac. This includes me-I'm currently a devoted Safari 4 user, previously a rabidly devoted Firefox user. Though it's important to remember that this is still a beta (with all that entails), we came away impressed with the Mac version of Chrome.įirst, a disclaimer: though some members of the staff (and, of course, many of you) have been using Chrome as a developer preview for some time, many of us have not.
Chrome beta for mac software#
The software has been in development for some time-at least since the Windows version was first released in late 2008-and is now available as a tidy package for the Mac-using masses who weren't previously interested in digging around in build trees.
Google has finally released Chrome, the company's own Web browser, into beta on the Mac and Linux.
