"For Mac and Linux users, there’s still no Google Chrome for you."

You can grab the latest nighly build for OS X here: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/sub-rel-mac/

It works pretty well and the UI is great. However, there are still some features missing, like the ability to delete bookmarks.

I follow the development of Mac Chrome Pretty Closely. Here is a list of what works and what doesn't as of build 16630. Keeping track of this at http://www.manu-j.com/blog/download-updated-native-google-ch...

What Works

    * Almost all websites 
    * Bookmark pages
    * Most visited sites
    * Open link in new tab
    * Open new tabs
    * Omnibox
    * Back, Forward, Reload
    * Open link in new window
    * Drag a tab to make a window
    * Launch new tab
    * Cut, Copy, Paste
    * Keyboard shortcuts
    * about:version, about:dns, about:crash, about:histograms
    * Find in page
    * History with search
    * Form Fill
    * Delete Thumbnail in New Tab Page
    * Window Positions Remembered
    * View Source  with synatx highlighting and clickable links

What Doesn’t Work

    * Open link in new tab Rev 13759
    * Plugins (No flash -> No youtube)
    * History Rev 16050
    * Omnibox Rev 13759
    * Bookmarks Bar
    * Find Rev 16050
    * Print
    * about:network, about:memory
    * Web Inspector
    * Input methods such as Kotoeri (Japanese)
    * Preferences (Partial implementation)
    * Full Screen Browsin

And have a look at the Stainless browser (OS X). A project originally inspired by Chrome.

I love the multiple browsing sessions feature (great for testing).

shouldn't bookmarks be implemented at the level of js scripted extensions?
