Google Upgrades Chrome To Beta For OS X, Linux

Posted by timothy on from the browsing-is-what-cows-do dept.

wkurzius writes with this nugget from Mac Rumors: "As anticipated, Google has finally released an official beta version of its Chrome browser for Mac. The initial beta version, termed Build 4.0.249.30, requires Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, and is only compatible with Intel-based Macs." And hierofalcon writes with word that Chrome has also been made available as an official Linux Beta.

    Try AdSweep. Don't know if it works on the Mac/Linux versions, but it works on version 4 of the Windows build.

    See http://adsweep.org/ - not nearly as flexible as AdBlock but does the job for the most part.
