Google Chrome for Mac Beta Released
After a long wait, Google has finally released the first official beta release of Google Chrome for Mac. This being a beta release, it is not yet entirely on par feature-wise with the Windows version, but in return Mac users get a browser that is very well integrated with Mac OS X.
I think there's little need to repeat the major advantages and disadvantages Google Chrome offers compared to other Mac browser mainstays like Safari, Camino, and Firefox. Chrome obviously brings with it lots of speed and a more polished interface (tabs on top done properly), but the real deal here is less obvious to casual users: process-per-tab, which makes sure that a misbehaving page cannot bring down your entire browser.
On the disadvantages end, the extension framework for Chrome is still not ready, and is also not part of the Mac beta release. Firefox' extension ecosystem is one of the major reasons users stick to Firefox. A few features are also missing, such as the bookmark manager and support for Google Gears.
