Google Chrome for mac?

So you were looking for the new google chrome browser, well there isn't any for us mac users. Doh!

I am informed after the press conference to announce Google's new Web browser, Chrome, Google cofounder Sergey Brin asked BoomTown's Kara Swisher if she'd try it out. She is reported to have responded "But you don't have a Mac version, baby, so no," "I know, I know, it's embarrassing," says Brin. "When is that coming out?" Swisher asks. Brin, then appeared to look over his shoulder to be rescued and He says: "Um, I don't have a date for you. I'm going to have to get back to you. I'm asking every day. I hope it'll be a matter of months."

I really hope we have not gone backwards, in things not being made for macs or could it be that in order to protect safari and with the Google guy on apples board they have deliberately not brought out Chrome for Macs.

In the corporate world of computing there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Didn't Eric Schmidt resign from the Google board not so long ago? With Chrome and Chrome OS there was going to be too many conflicts of interest.

I've been using a developer build of Chrome for the mac for about a week now and I've only had one crash and that was cos of Flash. It's now my default browser, I love it. It's not totally feature rich but everything you could need to surf is working like a dream. Looking forward to extensions!
