Early Screenshots from the Mac Version of Google's Chrome Browser
Google's Mike Pinkerton just posted the first screenshots from the Mac build of Google's Chrome web browser.
He warns there's still a "very very long way to go" and he can't predict a possible date, but it does show some substantial progress on the project.
Google announced Chrome for Windows back in September and stated that they believe they "can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web."
One of the features described for the Windows version has been the isolation of processes within each tab. This means that a misbehaving website can only potentially crash the tab that its running and not the whole browser. Also offered is a screenshot for when this might happen on the Mac version of the browser:
This week, everything came together and we can now load web pages in the renderer processes and display them in tabs. Here's a screenshot of the very first time I ran Mac Chromium and loaded a webpage:

Snap!
You just have to love Google.
I sure hope that's not something that gets removed in the final version. Software is too serious much of the time. It's a web browser, let it have some fun.

not a compelling browser on windows and even less so on osx. oh well it is nice to have options.
edit: Don't love google...fear them. They are posturing to be a most evil tech company.

I really like Chrome, I just need it to integrate with Google Bookmarks and ideally provide plug-in support.

Well, of course Google is evil, but this statement makes it appear that you don't think other tech companies are evil too.
Come on, now.

On the Windows version type about:internets in the URL field.
Hilarity ensues.

this looks promising. i particularly like the idea of only one tab crashing/closing if the webpage has an error. it will definitely get a chance from me when it comes out.

I didn't like chrome when I tried it on windows, so I can't really be bothered. It's pretty stupid anyway that they're so far behind on the osx version.
