Well, it appears there isn’t a Google Chrome download for the Apple Mac OS X yet. Boo! They are apparently embarrassed about lack of a Mac Download.
If you have one of those crap Windows PC then you can get a free web browser from Google;
Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.
Wonder when the Apple Mac Chrome will be out? (OK - So technically Chrome will run on a Mac using Apple’s dual-boot Boot Camp utility, but if I want to run a cranky old system on my Mac Book I would run Amiga lol, not Windows.
Update - Actually, Google have a post about Chrome for Mac on their blog.

LOL - I’ll be interested to see what search traffic you get with this blog title!
I’m sure it was unintentional!

i’m willing to try it out just to see if it works more efficiently than FireFox… if it’s faster than Firefox and isn’t IE, then i’ll use it

There is Google Chromium available to download and I actually compiled on my Mac. But don’t get too excited, there is no UI yet and the compilation fails dramatically, but that’s the closer you will get to Google Chrome on the Mac. Take a look at my tutorial about how to download Chromium and compile it on the Mac.

I searched for “google chrome mac” and found this on the first page. I was hoping you would tell me how to compile a version for the Mac, but alas….

Google Chrome is really fast!
Now I can sort 200,000 records inside of Browser (Chrome) just in 1 sec. (Faster than Microsoft Excel):
