First, here's what it looked like after visiting a few websites:Īnd here's what it looked like after visiting more websites, and closing some tabs:Īfter the speed and unique look and feel of Chrome for OS X, my favorite early feature is the collection of Chrome themes. These two images will give you an idea of what the Chrome Tab Page looks like. It also shows the pages/tabs you've closed recently, and further shows images from the Chrome theme you've installed, which is very nice. Whenever you create a new tab, Chrome shows you a little of your most-visited websites, just like Safari 4.x. I just typed "chrome themes" in the Omnibox, and I went right to the Google search results for this search. Once you've compiled a little history, the sites you've visited will also show up here.Īnother great feature is that you can just type your searches directly in the Omnibox, and the results are automatically shown (using the Google search engine, of course). Type in a common site, like, and it comes up in the drop-down list for you very fast. You'll notice it right away, because it's always working for you, which feels like a good thing. The area where you typically type in a URL in your browser is referred to as the Omnibox in Chrome. Plus, it looks just fine, especially with a theme added in. With Chrome, one look at the browser and you know what you're using. When I use Firefox, Safari, and Camino, sometimes they look so much alike I can't tell which is which.
#FIREFOX OS X REVIEW MAC OS X#
Some Mac OS X purists might not like this, but I have no problem with it at all. The first thing is the non-standard use of tabs. When using Chrome on OS X, a few things stand out. Without being able to find a bug yet, I'll just mention a couple of features and share a few Chrome for OS X images. Other sites like the NY Times,, bing, slashdot, Yahoo Mail, and digg are all zippy and look just fine.
Gmail loads significantly faster than Firefox. Sites like iGoogle are so fast it's scary. I haven't done any official speed tests, but when I hit some sites it's scary fast. Of these browsers, Chrome OS X is very impressive.
#FIREFOX OS X REVIEW DOWNLOAD#
(Hmm, I need to download Opera and give it a spin, lol.) I might be a little crazy, or perhaps just a bit of a geek, but I have Firefox, Safari, Camino, and now Chrome installed. Of course after looking at that page, the next page I looked at was the website, which looks like this: The installation size showed as 49.5MB.Īfter installing Chrome and starting it up, here's the first screen you'll see: Installation was just like most Mac OS X application installs just drag the Chrome icon to the Applications folder. This downloaded a file named googlechrome-4.0.
#FIREFOX OS X REVIEW FOR MAC OS X#
I download Google Chrome for Mac OS X at this download link. It's quick, and after almost 60 minutes of visiting as many sites as I could, loading up a bunch of tabs, and applying some Google themes, I haven't found any bugs yet.
I just downloaded and installed the Google Chrome beta for Mac OS X, and so far, so sweet.
