Google Chrome Beta for Mac OS X and Linux released

image After a long time, Google has finally released Chrome Beta for Mac OS X and Linux. This is a pleasant announcement for all those users anxiously waiting to try out Chrome on their favorite OS. While this beta release is an important milestone in Chrome’s development for these platforms, don’t expect total stability or functionality when compared to the released versions for Windows.

Chrome Beta for Mac will run on OS X 10.5 or later only, which means you must have Leopard or Snow Leopard installed.
