The most popular browser on Mac OS X
… More EditGoogle Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine and application framework. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on 2 September 2008, and the public stable release was on 11 December 2008. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or "chrome", of web browsers. As of February 2010, Chrome was the third most widely used browser, with 5.61% of worldwide usage share of web browsers, according to Net Applications.
In September 2008, Google released a large portion of Chrome's source code, including its V8 JavaScript engine, as an open source project entitled Chromium. This move enabled third-party developers to study the underlying source code and help port the browser to Mac OS X and Linux. A Google spokesperson also expressed hope that other browsers would adopt V8 to help web applications. The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the permissive BSD license, which allows portions to be incorporated into both open source and proprietary software programs. Other portions of the source code are subject to a variety of open-source licenses. Chromium implements the same feature set as Chrome, but lacks automatic updates and Google branding, most notably it has a blue-colored logo in place of the multicolored Google logo.

A great browser, html5 complaint, and chicks dig it.
I have 3 diff browers and chromes the best
I used fire fox for about 2 years but i started using chrome about 3 months ago and i can say its 2 times faster than firefox but it sometimes crashs and i should restart it
but anyway I love it :D
I just think it is a great browser. However, I still run into websites that just don't work.
Prefer Chromium.
Google Chrome BETA 5 for Linux detected as Chromium
best !!!
I have both Chrome and Opera installed on Win 7 and I can CLEARLY say that Chrome is more way BETTER and FASTER than Opera. DEFINITELY.
Summerize:
"It's FASTER Than a BULLET.
Terrifying SCREAM...
Enraged and full of anger
IT'S half man and half MACHINE!!"
We call IT Chrome. Currently best browser for the end users.
Just 5 stars nothing else
It is the best browser for any OS! It is really, really fast! And I'm using it with more then 20 extensions installed.
features not 5 stars? :S
using chrome:
7.0.503.0 dev atm
Chrome is a great browser. It is my primary web browsing tool, however when it comes to web development some of the feature sets and extensions fall short. Namely Firebug, it does not compare to Firebug in Firefox.
Google Chrome is my favorite browser. Special thing about it is the time it takes to fire it up. It's next to nothing!
I've waited switching to it, because I depended on some extensions that were only available to firefox, but time came to give that up. Chrome beats Firefox in my case, memory usage wise, and specially in speed.
I love Chrome!
速度很快,很赞.界面十分的简洁.无多余按钮,看到相比的Firefox(虽然能通过扩展简化界面.但还是很乱)是无比的乱.喜欢Chrome
This is a wonderful web browser, I still like Firefox better, and the lack of support for PowerPC processors on the Mac lets me down.
