The Chrome browser for both Mac and Linux is coming. In fact, the first version is being released by Google this weekend. The problem is that it’s just a developer version, the first stage to a full release, which remains several tantalizing months away.
In a blog posting product managers Mike Smith and Karen Grunberg wrote:
“In order to get more feedback from developers, we have early developer channel versions of Google Chrome for Mac OS X and Linux, but whatever you do, please DON’T DOWNLOAD THEM! Unless of course you are a developer or take great pleasure in incomplete, unpredictable, and potentially crashing software.”
