Chrome for Mac next, Sorry Linux; Plus New Developer Tools
September 18, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Speaking at Web 2.0 Expo, Google’s Ojan Vafai talked about Chrome coming to the Mac before Linux due to size of each market.
Maybe more interesting to the non-Mac users were Ojan’s comments about “soon to come” Chrome developer tools to make it easier to develop in Javascript.
Perhaps there will be a set of standard Chrome libraries to handle all the Javascript necessary for UI elements like dialog boxes and toolbars.
When a platform has great development tools that make developer’s lives easier, more time can be spent on creating new features.
Way to go Google!
More detail on Ojan’s talk from Larry Dignan at ZDNet here.

Kudos to Codeweavers for releasing Crossover Chromium so Mac and Linux users can experience the goodness of the Google Chrome browser.
Codeweavers CEO Jeremy White talks about the challenge he put to the team to “to ship ported versions of Chromium for Mac and Linux, and I wanted to do it as fast as possible” in his blog here.
Great job guys. You’ve made a large number of Mac/Linux users very happy today.
