How to run Google Chrome on your Mac and Linux Box

I was wondering how you guys are feeling about the new open-source browser, Google Chrome. I’m quite loving it because of the ease of use and the less resource intensive operation. But unfortunately my Mac and Linux buddy is still missing out on the Chrome goodness as Google hasn’t yet committed for a official Linux or Mac version.

Luckily a new project called CrossOver Chromium could be a stop gap between Google Chrome and Mac and Linux users until any official version pops out.

CrossOver Chromium is a Mac and Linux port of the open source Google Chrome web browser created by CodeWeavers. But beware fellows, according to the devs, Google Chromium shouldn’t be run as the default browser on any of the systems as this project is just a proof of concept and besides that a natively supported Linux and Mac version might just be around the corner.

it’s funny, the more i use Chrome (for windows), the more unstable it seems to get… crashes a lot more, can’t handle sites with flash, hangs every time i close a tab… all that to say, i’m switching back to Firefox
