“Brian Rakowski, Chrome’s product manager, said the company wants to release Chrome for Mac and Linux before the first half of 2009 is up,” Stephen Shankland reports for CNET.

“The Mac and Linux versions are up to the level of a basic ‘test shell’ that can show Web pages. But a test shell is pretty raw,” Shankland reports.
“‘That team now is able to render most Web pages pretty well. But in terms of the user experience, it’s very basic,’ Rakowski said of the Mac version. ‘We have not spent any time building out features.
