Chrome gets Mac deadline, extensions foundation (cnet)

[Posted January 12, 2009 by jake]

Google is planning to release versions of its Chrome browser for Linux and Mac in the first half of 2009 as outlined in an article over at cnet. "The Mac and Linux versions are up to the level of a basic 'test shell' that can show Web pages. But a test shell is pretty raw. [...] 'That team now is able to render most Web pages pretty well. But in terms of the user experience, it's very basic,' [Chrome product manager Brian] Rakowski said of the Mac version. 'We have not spent any time building out features. We're still iterating on making it stable and getting the architecture right.'"

According to the article, Google "hopes to" release a version for Linux and Mac in the first half of 2009. It's amazing how quickly "hopes to" gets translated to "plans to" and a "deadline".
