I was looking at the Gtalk extension for Chrome on Mac OS X Lion (10.7) on Chrome Web Store. I liked that and installed it and now I notice that Gtalk now comes on my Mac’s menu bar as an icon.
This one is great as clicking on the icon opens up a new small Chrome window for Gtalk. So iChat beware…here comes Google without any native applications but using only Chrome browser.
Today, Google has officially launched the beta version of Google Chromebrowser for Mac. You can download the Google Chrome for Mac from here.
Well after a few test, we find it faster over Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5 (tested on Macbook). Although, it is still in beta but it has most of the features which Windows version has. You can use the Address Bar (also called as Omni box) to enter any website URL, search on Google or search thru your bookmarks.
As stated in the video, Google Chrome for Mac uses the centralized location of passwords in Mac, i.e. Keychain Access. The benefits for that it can utilize the Keychain data saved thru different browsers and applications.
So people enjoy the Google Chrome for Mac and keep us posted on anything new you find.
Google has launched the source code for their new Google Chrome OS as open source under the GPL license, Google Chromium.
You can go the Google Chromium site and look for the Source code and build a custom version.
People out there also build a pre-build for VMware and Parallels virtual environments. You can download the Parallels version (pvm) file using the following torrent.
Google has introduced a new feature today in their search results. After search results appear, you can choose the search results to be shown in small, medium or large details. This feature was got visible only in Google Chrome, when tried the same search in Internet Explorer or Firefox it did not appear.
