Chrome Finally Coming to the Mac?

Google's browser has been running on Windows PCs for 15 months. Now, it may actually make its way to Macs.

Over at Cnet, Steven Shankland has taken notice of some info on a mailing list for Google Chrome developers that suggests that Google's browser may arrive in an OS X beta in early December. If so, fifteen months will have passed between Chrome's Windows debut and its appearance on the Mac. (Developer versions of Chrome and its open-source doppelganger Chromium for Mac have been around for quite awhile, but the most recent ones I've tried have been almost ready for prime time-but not quite.)

I still don't understand why Chrome for Windows has an admirably sleek two menus, and Chrome for Mac needs nine of ‘em. Other than that little mystery, I'm very much looking forward to Chrome finally becoming a cross-platform browser.
