Google Chrome now available for Mac and Linux users

Tuesday Google announced that their web browser, known as Google Chrome, is now available for Mac and Linux users. The Internet giant also announced that over 300 extensions are now available for Windows and Linux as well.

Google Chrome for Mac

Google wanted to make sure it had a secure and fast browser that would work well with Mac OS X. There are a few differences between the Windows version and the Mac version of Chrome, including the lack of extensions, cookie manager, and bookmark manager. These are things that Google hopes to later incorporate as part of the Mac version of Chrome.

Google Chrome for Linux

Chrome for Linux was also designed with speed and stability in mind. As Linux is an open source operation system, Google took advantage of the open source community in generating the code for the Linux version of Chrome.

Google Chrome Extensions

Now Chrome is customizable for Windows and Linux users through extensions. Google now has over 300 extensions to help customize the Chrome browser to make it more useful or visually appealing. Web developers will be able to create their own extensions for Chrome.
