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.

  1. The delay is caused by Open Source by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    On Windows & OS X, it was fairly easy to find the API calls that turn on your system's cameras and microphones, but on Linux, those devices are all over the place so it took Google longer to figure out how to turn them on when you're running their browser. Don't worry, all video and audio is stored securely on Google's private servers and accessible only via the website called "YouTube"

    I no longer trust Google with anything. So no, I will not use any version of Chrome on any of my machines.

    Anything designed with, for, near, while talking about, or in any other way related to any microsoft technology is worthless. Visual Studio is not an extensible IDE, it's a piece of shit used only by crappy programmers.
