We barely ended the discussion on Chrome's sandboxing feature and how hard or easy it is to implement such functionality on Mac OS X and Linux, and we have the Chromium project releasing the first builds of Google Chrome for Linux and Mac OS X "officially". Nightly builds for these platforms have been available since earlier this year, but this is the first time the project puts out actual releases for Mac and Linux.

Oh, well, I guess I have to wait more for a Fedora version. Too lazy to compile from source.
I installed the latest nightly build from a Debian package. It is nice to see it working but don't bother downloading for Linux yet. It is *way* too rough. Put it this way: open a new tab, load an URL, crash, reload Chrome. It would drive you mad by the end of the day. There is no possibility even a usable beta for Linux is coming out in the next couple of months. My guess, about 6 months until it is sort of usable on Linux, based on the missing functionality compared to the Windows version.
