Google Chrome for Linux and Mac is Out (for Fun)

September 17, 2008

While Google was getting down and dirty to release their version of Google Chrome for Linux and Mac users, CrossOver Chromium got into the scene. This new browser uses a similar codebase with Google Chrome.

I haven’t tried CrossOver Chromium yet as I’ve always been a Windows person, but the screencaps show that Google Chrome and CrossOver Chromium are very much alike:

CrossOver Chromium on Ubuntu Linux

CrossOver Chromium on Mac OS X

CrossOver Chromium is available for download and is offered free of charge at CodeWeavers. It may not replace the Google Chrome at this time (check its FAQ), but it is surely be a good way to try it.
