Comments on: Google debuts Chrome for Mac, Linux

A new chapter in the browser's brief history begins as Google starts taking Chrome beyond Windows. Watch out for the missing features and 424 bugs, though.

I would never use the current version for OS X or for Linux. I currently use Chrome on XP & Win 7 RC1 and in all circumstances its faster than IE8, Firefox beta , and Safari beta..

I like my Linux desktop the way it is. FireFox. Just say no to spy-ware!

One thing you have to hand to Google Chrome is their unparalleled silent update feature.

I believe it was Comscore who reported that 97% of Chrome browsers were updated to the latest version within 3 weeks of the updates release. Folowed by firefox in the low 80% range, followed by the rest of the browsers at 50% and lower.

So for website developers, Chrome is more friendly to design for, as you really only have to design for the most recent version, instead of the abysmal test IE 5.5, IE 6, IE 7, and now IE8 environment created by Microsoft.
