Mac Monday: Google Chrome Beta Drops, Reignites Browser Wars
Google took another small step towards world domination with the recent public beta release of its Chrome web browser for Mac and Linux. This most recent build is stable and noticeably fast, and although it doesn't have the full feature set of its Windows counterpart, community support via the Chrome Extensions page should help flesh it out. The lack of a bookmark manager seems like a glaring omission, but consider it an opportunity to test the new Google Bookmark Sync, which lets you access and organize your links from any computer. Predictably, this release has caused a surge of Chrome installs, which in turn pushed the Google app's market share past that of Apple's own Safari by a slim margin. With IE8 comfortably in the lead and Firefox following close behind, Apple and Google are left to fight for third place… for now.
