Great browser. Brushed metal has never worked for me though, I prefer the blue chrome.

Shiira was a fantastic browser. I say “was” because the last release was several months ago, and had a fair number of bugs. Development seems to have stopped.

There’s a spiritual successor to Shiira: the Demeter browser. However, it seems to be one man’s part-time project, and I can’t even get the thing to run.

By Looking at these Screenshots I, a windows User, would actually Rather Have Stainless Purely For the Safari Look.

We never intended CrossOver Chromium to be a finished product–it was a proof-of-concept to demonstrate how quickly one can move a piece of Windows software over to the Mac world. It’s rough around the edges, for sure. Sorry you don’t like it–we’ve had plenty of other people who use it pretty contentedly, though.

CrossOver Chromium is crappy, its even worst that the worst osx native browser, and, by the way, i find Stainless a very attractive browser, if it only had a bookmark manager and a history panel (that, acording to the offical site, will, surely be added) i would use it as an every day browser. I really like it a lot, nothing to ask to the offical chrome

While I appreciate your, ummm, abstinence-based Chromium chastity program, for those folks who are interested in running the (admittedly impure and sullied) Windows version of Chrome on their Macs *right now*, you can get CrossOver Chromium for free right here:

We’re all looking forward to the native version, of course. But who knows when that will show up?

Very interesting, I didn’t know that. So that means that Stainless is about as good as the standard version of Chrome…

Just FYI, the standard beta version of Chrome doesn’t have an integrated bookmark manager either. You can get it by signing up for developer updates, but the standard download doesn’t include it.

I'm currently running three different machines with three different OS's and testing lots of different browsers. I have a laptop that runs Linux, An iMac running Leopard, and another laptop running Vista. Leopard is by far my favorite OS, but I find myself using the laptop with Vista more and more, because I just LOVE chrome so much. It really is the fastest and coolest browser out there right now. A close second would be seamonkey, which is an open-source browser built on Mozilla technology. It's become the only browser I use on my Mac. You can change the skin to give it a different appearance, it never crashes, and it seems to run a lot faster than firefox or safari on my Mac. You can check out my reviews at my blog.
