Download Updated Google Chrome for Mac

This page will be updated when a new feature is available or once every week. From Revision 15845 all builds will point to the official google build. Each build will come with a revision number, new feature/bug fixes list and comments. When a new build adds a feature or fixes a bug the “What works and What doesn’t” list will be updated. For significant updates SunSpider test results will also be posted. You will need an Intel Mac running Leopard to run Chrome. Follow techsutra on twitter to get updated when new build are available. I will also post a new comment when the page is updated, so you can subscribe to comments for this page.

What Works

What Doesn’t Work

Thanks to Vijay, for helping me with resources.

You should follow me on twitter here

I want to thank you for your time in compiling Chromium and sharing it with the world.

Thanks

Please post the as DMG file instead of zip.

Any specific reason for DMG considering this is a pre-alpha release intended for just a quick look and not for installation ?

@manu
Umm… nothing specific. Sometimes it so happens that when downloading a zip file over a proxy… the file gets corrupted. Anyways never mind… I am gonna check out the code and build it.

Yes, thanks for sharing this build with the world. It works better than I anticipated. The mac port is going nicely!

Looking forward for more updates!!

Thanks again!

I would like to thank you for providing these builds. I hacked my version of OS X to conform more towards FreeBSD and I can not build Chrome.

I like it

it didn’t work on powerpc!!!

@kerry. You need an intel mac. I will update the article.

Thank you for compiling Chromium, manu! It is a great preview of what we can expect when Chrome finally arrives for the Mac.

@manu: thx.
Someone knows if chrome final version will be universal binary or intel-only?

Big possibility is intel only. Because Chrome is using V8 javascript engine, that actually compile javascript to x86 bytecode.

So it’s much work as a compiler rather just intepreter. Thus having compiler for another CPU architecture may still a far-far long way

awesome. keep up the good work!

On Google Chrome Mac Builds page of my blog you can find builds done with different frequency (i.e. when I have time ;) ).

Good work, Dinesh, thanks.

15170 -> pages do not load anymore? : “Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): Unknown error.”

??

Works fine for me

I use Google Chrome on a daily basis on the computers at school, and I am too lazy to install Winblows on my Mac. So, this will help me and save me time from attempting to compile it. Thanks much manu, I appreciate all of your work. :)

This is what I get if I run it from the terminal (last line is when I tried to go to a site):

/Users/tt/Desktop/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium ; exit;
[4636:267:35924642971275:ERROR:/Users/manujanardhanan/work/code_repos/chromium/home/chrome-svn/tarball/chromium/src/chrome/common/temp_scaffolding_stubs.cc(133)] Not implemented reached in static bool FirstRun::IsChromeFirstRun()

Are you running this on Intel Mac with Leopard ? If yes, then I have no idea. You can try previous builds. If not, chrome runs only on intel mac running leopard

Yes, Intel MBP 10.5.6. I tried earlier versions and they are now broken as well. I tried to erase all traces with AppCleaner, but still no luck. I tried on another identical MBP, and it works, so something happened to my machine…

@thom: Try removing the folder

Library/Application Support/Chromium/

in your home directory.

Hmm, I did do that, and the new (05.12) build doesn’t work either. Are there any other locations where files could be hiding?

Ok, I figured out a fix, but I don’t know how this became a factor in between working and not working: I disabled web proxy in my network settings that was set to 127.0.0.1. …not sure what the proxy setting is for in the first place…

Thanks for the good work – I have bumped up your blog in the Google search settings since it’s the best resource for those that want to try out the browser on a mac.

I have downloaded the 16630 version : gmail and links like http://www.google.com/ig don’t work !!!
So bad… sob, sob…

Did you try any of the earlier builds? Try removing the folder

Library/Application Support/Chromium/

in your home directory and see if it resolves the problem

I have downloaded the latest version… it worked and reached the Google pages and sites faw times… I quited the application and when I came back… back on these boring messages : “Oops! This link appears to be broken.
Suggestions:
View cached copy of page from Google
Reload this page later
Search on Google”

Sob, sob !!!

If it can help :
MacBook Pro
2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 Go SDRAM
Mac OS 10.5.7

no favicon…add it to the does not work list please!

@brin added

Browsing with my Chromium version :
The new tab window doesn’t display the icons of the previously opened pages… Sob, sob…

Your links are broken, they have changed the URL structure

thanks! I fixed it.

Chrome build updated. Bookmarks bar now works. Incognito windows are now badged to show they are incognito. More of the preferences now work. Able to change default search engine. Home page can be set to multiple custom URLs. Tab titles now show tooltips. Fixes for scrolling iframes. Several other fixes

New comment system, huh? Great!

And it took about 2 seconds to post, as expected.

Yeah :) Didn't want to move to disqus earlier because it was not widely used. Now that it is widely used, it seemed better to use it to fix any performance problems. Also disqus users will have less inertia to overcome to post comments

Thanks for serving your work!

Can't believe it : the latest version crashes each time it try to reach a google site !!!

It is a great filling of working with Google and milestones are always a good time for introspection. Interesting, fun, surprising, insightful, inspiring, impactful, and more such words.

Google is not quite as big as many companies out there, but in its space it has a huge user base for most of its applications (search and beyond). Anything you analytics menu-googlework on will probably touch hundreds of thousands of people.

Thanks

New chromium for mac. What’s New: Favicon works sometimes, Full screen makes a comeback (it is awesome), Web Inspector, First cut of download shelf (very very basic)

New google chrome for mac. Comes with Popup Blocking, better new tab screen (shows recent activities, recommendations and most used sites) and a better looking bookmark bar.

Why Google websites are unreachable with both Chromium and Chrome applications ?
I have downloaded few releases… each time Google websites come up with this kind of messages : Page not found – connection failure

Oops! This link appears to be broken.

Somebody can help me ? (I have already erased the library/Application Support/Google/Chrome…)

I do not seem to be able to delete obsolete bookmarks.

This software is pre beta. It'n not even close to being complete. The Bookmarking system is not done.

If you must delete all bookmarks, you can probably delete it's preferences or the Application Support folder. I probably confused you with this. Sorry. For more info, try Google.

You have been very helpful and thanks.

Hello. It appears that in recent build, you can delete bookmarks from the Bookmarks Bar. If you don't have it enabled, go to View > Always Show Bookmarks Bar.

There you can right click and of the bookmarks and select Delete.

any of the bookmarks*

Build updated. Flash finally comes to chrome Disabled by default. Learn how to enable flash @ http://www.manu-j.com/blog/google-chrome-mac-fl... Right click menus on tabs. Reopen closed tab.Bookmarks have right click context menu as well [Delete option, open in new tab etc]. Throbber works fine now. All in all a solid update

yeah..as lucky said in recent builds have bookmarks can be deleted. The latest build on this page now has the feature

Chrome will run only on Leopard and above. Tiger (10.4) is not supported.

Can U give me a hint of a solution for my troubles :
“Why, on y Mac, the Google sites links (gmail, google, calendar…) ALWAYS appear broken after the fisrt launch of each new version ???”
Thanks,
Paroliver

Is there some build that runs in 10.4.11 (Tiger)?

No, chrome runs only on Leopard.

So, yea, its been a while since the last update. Just curious as to why.

Chrome for mac updated: Read http://www.manu-j.com/blog/chrome-for-mac-updat... for changes and the reason for absence in posting

How do you get extensions enabled in the mac version? I have the AdSweep.crx

I think extensions are enabled by default or you can pass
–enable-extensions while starting chromium.

/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium –enable-extensions

(assuming chromium is installed in /Applications )

Forgot to mention, extensions though enabled did not work for me.
Maybe the extensio i tried was bad. Please do post a reply if you find
success.

I understand the '–enable-extensions' part… but I don't know where
exactly to put it.

Assuming you have installed chromium in Applications, start Terminal
(command line) and type out(or paste) and execute

/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium –enable-extensions

Yup, no luck
