Yes, people, I’ve seen many many requests about google chrome for Mac. Now, if you guys wanna try Chrome for Mac ahead of the official release, you can try crossover chromium for Mac.
What is CrossOver Chromium
CrossOver Chromium is a Mac and Linux port of the open source Chromium web browser. CrossOver Chromium is available for download from CodeWeavers, free of charge. This is based on WINE software which lets Mac and Linux users run windows applications on their computers.
Some Facts
Even though it’s nice to experience Chrome browser on Mac before the official release, you should not use CrossOver Chromium as your primary browser, since it’s not the final product, and it’s not a native application. They used a Dev build of the actual chromium package to build this, thus is incomplete.
Okay, I’m Ready, Give me the Link
If you are ready to install Crossover Chromium, here is the download information.

Remember : Use this only for testing, and not as your primary browser.

Today, I found two interesting articles about Google Chrome on Mac.

You will need an Intel Mac running Leopard to run Chrome.
There is a list of things that works, and a list of things that does not. Read them carefully before installing or working with it. Now, go ahead and explore the Chrome Mac Version. Good luck !

When you edit pages on websites like Wikipedia, or when you edit the css or php of the website online, you work a lot with text area of the page, where you type, edit and modify your content. Earlier, Google chrome used to ignore this area when you do a search with Ctrl + F
With the recent update to the Google Chrome browser, this issue has been fixed. When you search the page from now onwards, the text area also will be included. I see several happy users on the Google Chrome forum after this update ! One of them said
“Okay, with the new beta version (2.0.169.1), the find function FINALLY works to search inside text areas. Hallelujah!”
If you were missing this feature, you can go ahead and try Google Chrome now. Yet another reason to swtich to Google Chrome !!
