As you know Google Chrome browser was launched few day back. According to Google, Google Chrome is a open source browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier and only available for Windows XP and Vista.

Why? Why Google Chrome not support Linux or Mac yet? Why open source browser not working on open source operating system? In fact, Google engineers try to tell us they are working hard building Google Chrome versions for Mac and Linux too. But when and why?

Personally I would said Google may have following reasons that not release Google Chrome for Linux or Mac for the time being:

  • Pre-install plugin problem for Linux especially different kind of Linux distrobution, even it’s happen to Firefox browser. Type about:plugins in your Google Chrome browser and you will see more details.
  • Google Chrome
  • Linux or Mac desktop market share still low and majority are Microsoft Windows.
