One of the biggest criticisms about Google’s Chrome web browser was that until today, only the developer-preview version is available for Mac and Linux systems. But it looks like Google will have a Christmas present for Mac users — they have unveiled plans of releasing a Chrome Mac beta version early next month.
As it stands, Chrome is at version 4.0, but is only available for Windows platforms. The new version will have a new feature that’s long been in Firefox — customization by extensions. The new feature will be called “Browser Actions” in Chrome, and should make the browser a bit more interesting at the very least.
Unfortunately, Browser Actions only work on Windows and Linux versions right now. But when the Chrome Mac beta comes out next month, those building extensions for Mac Chrome should have a good measure of access to the new feature.
It’s been a long time coming, but I guess we could always count on Google to keep things moving forward.
