Chrome now works on Linux and Mac

Everybody loves Googles great browser, Chrome. Heck, I do too. It’s really one of the best browsers out there, and it really has a strong chance of toppling down Firefox. Really.

Oh, wait, there’s a bit of a problem: you can’t use Chrome if you’re not on Windows. Oh yeah. That.

For the longest time, Linux and Mac users have been badgering Google to make an official Chrome build for their respective OS’s. Well, good news non-Windows people. You can now have Chrome on your OS. Well, kind of.

You see, Google has already rolled out the alpha versions of Chrome for Mac and Linux. But as you can see, they’re warning you to not download the alpha versions yet, because, well, it’s an incomplete version and could probably trigger off a Global Thermonuclear War, and since you’re not Matthew Broderick, you won’t be able to stop impending disaster.

But the real reason Google doesn’t want you to download that version is that many of the functionalities do not work just yet. It won’t let you able to view YouTube videos, change your privacy settings, set your default search provider, or even print. And here is a list of other issues with the browser.

So if you’re willing to wait it out, the complete browser will be out by “sometime in the middle of 2009.” But, really, when has a simple warning stopped you from downloading an incomplete alpha? The download links are here.
