Google pushes Mac and Linux Chrome browsers

Article Title: Google pushes Mac and Linux Chrome browsers. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

According to foreign media reports, Google released a public beta version of Mac OS X and Linun Chrome on Tuesday to improve the competitiveness of the browser in these two operating systems.

Previously, Google only provided the developer preview versions of the above two versions. Brian rakoski, Google's product manager, said: "The (Beta Release) takes longer than we expected, but we hope this wait is worthwhile ."

Although not as common as Windows computers, there are also a large number of Mac users. The Technology circle also hopes that Google can develop Chrome for Mac. Linux is rarely used in normal computer users, but it is the basis of the Chrome operating system, so it is also very important. In May November, Google launched the Chrome operating system and hoped to be applied to netbooks starting next year.

According to the Chrome development project's "Chromium Development Calendar", Google will launch the Chrome official version of Mac OS X and Linun in January 12 next year. Windows Chrome has released the official version one year ago. Google did not emphasize the version number in the development project of this product, but used the version milestone method to track the internal development process.

Chrome 4.0's most important function is to support extension, allowing users to customize browsers as needed. In Mozilla products, this feature is called "add-on". Firefox browser developed by Mozilla has gained popularity among users. To make it easier for users to find extensions, Google also launched the Chrome extension page on Tuesday, said Aaron Boodman, an extension developer, more than 300 extensions are provided on this page.

However, rakavski said that although the Chrome developer preview version of the Mac version already includes the extension function, the public beta version of the Mac version does not provide the extension function. According to the Chromium Development Calendar, Google developers will perform the following tasks: bookmarks management, PDF preview, bookmarks synchronization, 64-bit support, and full-screen support.
