With a massive 62% market share, Google ’s Chrome dominates the web browser market. Chrome’s seamless updates are a major factor behind its success, but now the browser is under attack after.
The Google Chrome team is delivering on its promises to deliver Mac users a native version of the company's browser. A developer version of Chrome for both Mac and Linux users was released last night, but Google doesn't want you to download the software.

Printing Web pages does not work either, and the option to make a Google app (like Gmail) an application on your desktop is not available (greyed out).
When I opened an Incognito window, it got locked to the center of the screen and I was not able to type anything in the address bar of that window whatsoever. I wasn't able to close that window, either, so a 'force quit' of Chrome was necessary to get it back up and running.

Overall, this early preview version of Google Chrome for Mac looks and feels just about right, although it has quite a long way to go before it can make it mainstream or become your default browser. If you want to take Chrome for Mac for a spin, you can, but just keep in mind that this version is not for general use.
