Say hello to Google Chrome for Mac, now in beta

Filed under: , , ,

Google's Chrome browser has finally reached beta for Mac, just in time to meet Google's target "late 2009" release date. Chrome is ultra-fast -- it even feels a little bit faster than the developer previews we've been testing -- and seems on par with Safari and Firefox in terms of compatibility with most sites. It passes the Acid3 test and handles HTML5 audio and video quite smoothly.
This Mac beta of Chrome doesn't yet have support for the extensions in Google's Chrome Extensions Gallery, but it does support themes. You can try on a new theme with just a couple of clicks, and there are already a bunch of them in Google's gallery. Chrome's slick bookmark syncing feature still doesn't seem to be enabled yet, which is disappointing after seeing it pop up in Chromium -- the open source browser that Chrome is based on -- a month ago.
