Crome for Mac

I installed the new Crome for Mac, just look at the starting page it has a ho-hum old-style history overview page. I like the new thumbnails of pages that you can move around and pin down. It also includes the ability to switch to “list view.”


Recent activities, Tips and Suggestions windows below the thumbnail section on the launch page. This really interesting because it does offer up sites that I am finding to be generally interesting based on my browsing.


The “History” area of Chromium is also looking cool thanks to the favicons. And search is working in that section.


When you launch an “Incognito” window, the pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved.


Overall, the browser feels very snappy and most sites seem to load and render just fine. Dragging tabs around works good. The one major thing still missing is the lack of a Flash plug-in, which prevents sites like YouTube from working.
