New Beta of Google Chrome for Mac Now Available
Google today announced the release of a new beta of Google Chrome for Mac, adding several new features such as extensions and bookmark syncing that were left out of the initial beta released in December while also focusing on a "snappy, safe, and simple browsing experience" for users.
Existing Chrome users should be automatically upgraded to the new beta (version 5.0.307) within the next day.
With this new version, you'll be able to install any of over 2,200 extensions (and counting!) currently available in Chrome's extensions gallery. Extensions can add useful, informative, fun, or quirky functionality to the browser. You can manage your extensions by clicking on the Window menu and choosing "Extensions."
Bookmark syncing allows Chrome users to keep their bookmarks synchronized among Chrome browsers on Mac, Windows, and Linux machines. Also added in the new beta are bookmark, cookie, and task managers for increased functionality. A new video preview of Google Chrome for Mac has also been posted.Existing Chrome users should be automatically upgraded to the new beta (version 5.0.307) within the next day.

Yay!
I d/ld Chrome last week after some users here were praising it. It really is a nice experience, I've just made it my main browser. It doesn't hang on me the way FF or Safari does, so that's pretty much all it took for me to warm to it.
The designer themes are great too, check those out if you haven't already.

Does Chrome have anything as cool or as functional as Firefox's Awesome Bar?

It is nice that Google is still catering to the Mac community despite the recent animosity between Apple INC, and Google. In other words, they are not offering the community crippled versions of their software in the same likeness as Adobe.

that mode where it doesn't add things to the history or cookies is a little weird. my automatic thought was the kids being able to look at porn without it being recorded. interesting idea, but where are they going with it?

I love the address bar in chrome. It doubles as a google search, as well as offering site specific searching.
I'm using chrome as my primary browser....I have 2 complaints. One is that when I navigate 'back' it doesn't go to the spot on the previous page I was at, it goes to the top of the page. I really dislike that.
The other less annoying aspect is that when I close a tab, it doesn't go to the tab I was previously on...it goes to the tab adjacent to the one just closed.

Noticed Chrome had upgraded earlier - when it was suddenly no longer running and I had to try and remember the 10+ tabs I had open!
