Can’t wait to use Google Chrome on your Mac? CodeWeavers just made a porting of Chromium, the open source project behind Google Chrome, for Apple Mac and Linux.
The browser is called CrossOver Chromium and you can download the proper version for your OS at this link.
As soon as you load it, it performs a first time initialization that takes a few minutes. After that, as others noticed, it doesn’t seem to be a native Mac application but a porting, as it is.
I don’t really know if I would recommend it, I bet it’s gonna be unstable and far from being as good as the original version. In addition, there are many reasons why me and probably you are not going to switch now, plus the fact it is not the “real” Chrome and the risk is that you get a wrong perception about that browser.
After a couple of tests, I’m giving up. Not really that fast, font rendering is terrible and it looks like a Windows application. On the other hand, if you would like to get a feeling of what the new Google browser is going to be on your Mac, it’s definitely worth a try.
