Google"s Chrome browser is gaining traction steadily, despite being a new player in the world of exploring the Internet. So far, it"s seen the most support on Windows, though a Mac version is being developed also; Google have just announced that a beta will be available in December.
For Mac users, Chrome has been available in the form of the Chromium project, a browser which isn"t intended for public use but is still stable enough that some rely on it full time. The early December news came out here, with Google stating to browser extension developers, "The earlier you switch, the more time you will have to polish your experience for our Beta launch in early December," with the switching in reference to Browser Actions.
According to CNET, those who develop extensions for Chrome through Browser Actions should first work on the Windows and Linux version first. On that topic, Google"s Nick Baum said, "We realize this means dropping Mac support for a couple of weeks, but we already have people working on that. If you prioritize the Windows and Linux versions, we"ll bring you cross-platform parity as soon as we can!" Good news for Chrome users regardless of platform, and it"s certainly a welcome announcement for those using OS X.
