Versions of the Chrome browser for Mac and Linux platforms are now available, but Google is urging users not to download them to use as a standard browser. The released developer channel builds are for developers only to test. They are so bad in fact that your system may crash and many of the standard content you expect to view in your browser just won’t work.
The warning on the Chromium Blog about the availability of the builds reads as follows:
Whatever you do, please DON’T DOWNLOAD THEM! Unless of course you are a developer or take great pleasure in incomplete, unpredictable, and potentially crashing software.
How incomplete? So incomplete that, among other things, you won’t yet be able to view YouTube videos, change your privacy settings, set your default search provider, or even print.
So consider yourself warned and download these builds at your peril. And if that isn’t enough to put you off just check out the bug list.
