Small Update:  There is a pretty good pre-release version of Chrome (not Chromium) for Mac out right now.  Download here.

I was all too nerdily excited when Google Chrome (the browser), was released in September of last year by way of comic book.  I have a thing for keyboard shortcuts and efficiency of movement when using a computer and Chrome has a ton of excellent command line-esque functionality.  I also use as many different browsers as possible in order to log into various Gmail accounts as well as spread the system load over several different processes (Firefox gets bogged down with 20 tabs).  The major downside to Chrome, however, was that it was only available for Windows.  Ughh.

I recently found out about the open source project behind some of the Chrome code, notably Chrome for Linux and Mac.  Oh boy!  While it’s not an official release, it’s stable and full featured enough that I’m going to give it make it a daily browser.

Latest builds can be downloaded from the Chromium site.

Update 7/23: Chrome doesn’t yet support vital web plugins such as Flash…just fyi.
