With Chrome, one look at the browser and you know what you're using. When I use Firefox, Safari, and Camino, sometimes they look so much alike I can't tell which is which. Some Mac OS X purists might not like this, but I have no problem with it at all. The first thing is the non-standard use of tabs. When using Chrome on OS X, a few things stand out. Without being able to find a bug yet, I'll just mention a couple of features and share a few Chrome for OS X images. Other sites like the NY Times,, bing, slashdot, Yahoo Mail, and digg are all zippy and look just fine. Gmail loads significantly faster than Firefox. Sites like iGoogle are so fast it's scary. I haven't done any official speed tests, but when I hit some sites it's scary fast. Of these browsers, Chrome OS X is very impressive. (Hmm, I need to download Opera and give it a spin, lol.) I might be a little crazy, or perhaps just a bit of a geek, but I have Firefox, Safari, Camino, and now Chrome installed. Of course after looking at that page, the next page I looked at was the website, which looks like this:

The installation size showed as 49.5MB.Īfter installing Chrome and starting it up, here's the first screen you'll see: Installation was just like most Mac OS X application installs just drag the Chrome icon to the Applications folder.

This downloaded a file named googlechrome-4.0. I download Google Chrome for Mac OS X at this download link. It's quick, and after almost 60 minutes of visiting as many sites as I could, loading up a bunch of tabs, and applying some Google themes, I haven't found any bugs yet. I just downloaded and installed the Google Chrome beta for Mac OS X, and so far, so sweet.
