Google Chrome for Mac and Linux

September 17th, 2008 | by admin |

Everyone seems to be loving Google Chrome, the new open-source browser by Google, but very unfortunately Mac and Linux users are still missing the Chrome goodness as no native version of Google Chrome is available for them yet.

Luckily a new project called CrossOver Chromium is here to bridge the gaps between Google Chrome and Mac and Linux users.

CrossOver Chromium is a Mac and Linux port of the open source Google Chrome web browser created by CodeWeavers. Although users have been able to run Google Chrome on Mac using Windows Virtualization and through Wine on Linux but what makes CrossOver Chromium unique is its ability to run on Mac and Linux without any third party software.

As its developers say, Google Chromium should not be run as the default browser on any of the systems as this project is just a proof-of-concept and is not intended to replace the actual native versions of Google Chrome for Mac and Linux which will be available shortly by Google.

CrossOver Chromium is available for Intel based Macs and Linux systems. It can be downloaded through the CodeWeavers project page (link given below).
