Google obviously doesn't want to offer Chrome on Mac or it would have been done long ago. Perhaps they are waiting to simultaneously release an updated version?

I would never think of any other browser other than safari while i use mac os x. I even like the performance of safari on windows. Hope someone from google is listening. :) :) In my opinion, people will appreciate google if they develop what people are desperate to have for eg. google talk for mac.

" Well, Chrome for Mac was an afterthought. They shipped the initial version of Chrome for Windows before the even started work on Chrome for Mac. They didn't hire their first Chrome Mac engineer until they were already shipping a Windows version. Face it, Google doesn't really give a shit about Mac. The work they're doing now, the two or three people they have working on Mac Chrome, is mostly just to try to get people like us to shut the fuck up and stop damaging their good press.

I apologize. @CS and Lucky: I agree there are many great browsers for the Mac, and that there's not urgent need for Chrome, but I've grown tired of Google treating the Mac as an after thought. iPhoto is an incredible program, but competition is good for the industry. I like having the option to work in Picasa or iPhoto and I usually end up using them for different tasks. I believe the same applies with browsers. All of them are going to bring you to the same internet, and display it in a relatively similar way, but the features differ. If I need speed I use Safari, but when I need extendability I use Firefox, etc. Chrome will likely be an excellent addition to the Mac user's internet belt, but it has been 10 months, I think it's fair to start taking a few jabs at Google @Mark: Typo noted.

There really isn’t a sense of urgency from Mac users, and really, nor should there be.
