Google Chrome run natively (most of it, anyway)The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Odds and ends, Freeware, Open Source, Developer
After
much lamenting and
a few attempts,
Google Chrome can
finally be run natively in OS X. Kind of. Don't get us wrong, it works: it starts up fast and
runs one process per window, just like the Windows version. But there are a few glaring holes, the lack of plugins (and therefore Flash, which means no YouTube) being one of them. The History, Bookmarks Bar, and Preferences screens don't work either, which makes this not much more than
a proof-of-concept still: it can run natively, but you wouldn't really want to.
It's too bad Google hasn't
gotten this working themselves sooner. Maybe they've just been too busy lately taking care of
panda-obsessed AIs.
