Google releases Chrome for Mac

I've been blogging about its imminent release for a while now, so this should come as a surprise to no one – but Google released its Chrome Web browser for Mac OS earlier today.

The Chrome Web site now sports a "Get Google Chrome" button (pictured) instead of the previous "Sign Up" when it detects that you're using a Mac

Chrome is free and will run on any Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.5 or higher. Its three main features include:

• Fast start-up
• Fast loading
• Fast search

The Chrome welcome page has more details and a demo video.

Chrome Extensions are now live, unfortunately they're not supported on the Mac.

Update: Fun facts from the Google Chrome for Mac team:

• 73,804 lines of Mac-specific code written
• 29 developer builds
• 1,177 Mac-specific bugs fixed
• 12 external committers and bug editors to the Google Chrome for Mac code base, 48 external code
• contributors
• 64 Mac Minis doing continuous builds and tests
