    I'd really love to try out Chrome, but the lack of a mac version from google makes it a non starter.

    You'd think they'd be keen to get it on as many machines as possible.

    Well Google don't have a version, but it's worth checking out the open sourced counterpart if they do or not.

    Yeah I was aware of the alternative, but I'm going to wait until google sort themselves out.

    Interesting. This actually reminded me that I'm on stable. I usually always opt in to betas.

    So my stable build of Chrome crashed out on my last night (every page was "aw snap"ing"). Thought I might give Iron a spin, it's like Chrome but without all that tracking your activites nonsense.

    It's good, but it's alot slower than Chrome. Guess they must have ripped too much stuff out of the Chrome code

    Fancy trying a bit of Chromium now.
