It would be wrong to use Google product without an infamous "beta" badge, and now Mac and Linux users have access to another one in their version of the Google Chrome Browser. 
Chrome for Mac lacks some features available in the Windows beta such as Google Gears, which lets you work on sites like Gmail and Google Docs when you're offline.
It also lacks a bookmark manager and full support for browser extensions, but these are both ear-market for release in future updates next year.
Google had self-imposed Chrome for Mac and Linux to be released by the end of the year, so it's understandable that a few culls had to take place.
“We’ve been working hard to deliver a first-class browser for the Mac — it took longer than we expected, but we hope the wait was worth it!” said Google product manager Brian Rakowski in a blog post.
“We wanted Google Chrome to feel at home on the Mac, so we’ve focused on uniting our clean, simple design with subtle animations and effects to create a snappy and satisfying browsing experience on OS X.”
What Chrome does bring to Mac is exceptionally fast browser speeds. It also starts up quickly opening in under 2 seconds flat.
Chrome also boasts impressive stability, isolating each browser tab so that bug-infested Web page code will only crash the tab instead of the entire browser. Google’s multiprocess architecture also protect users from poorly coded or malicious extensions.
Mac Chrome also offers the “Omnibox” instead of the standard address bar and search bar across the top of your screen. The Omnibox (as the name suggests) is one box that you can use for both searching and entering URLs.
