Oh, stop your grumbling and stick with Safari. It’s a world-class browser with the fit and finish you expect from a world-class company. I will not patronize a company that treats the Mac as an afterthought.

I have to agree with D9. If there is to be a Mac version of software then release it with the other OS versions and don’t handicap it in comparison to the other releases. A sure fire way to upset the “fanboys” is to release a lesser-than version of software for the Mac. It also shows that you as a developer don’t consider the Mac platform/community worth the effort to do the job right from the start.

Do it right or not at all.

Really…is this 1998? Do we really need to go back to the days of Windows apps appearing months, years before a Mac version does?

With the plethora of browsers out there, warts & all, I’ve got no patience for a would-be-cool browser with a Google icon on it, regardless of what they say it MIGHT do.

They’re not making the Mac a high enough priority to make me care about using this. Firefox releases Win, Mac and Linux all at the same time, and that’s the bar set for everyone else.

From the dev builds I’d say I’ll be switching my main browser for the first time since Safari debuted. Shame it’s missing those things, but it’s fast, light and (unlike, say, Firefox) feels like a Mac app.

Google does search extremely well, but, it appears that their skills as software mavens need much honing. People with high hopes for ChromeOS or Android 3.0 should take careful note.

I’ve been using the dev builds on my macs for about 6 months. The ONE thing I really NEED ASAP is the freaking bookmark manager. How hard is that to code?
