Mac users are tired of hearing about how Chrome is the greatest thing to hit the web since, well, Firefox. While Windows users have been happily using Chrome for a year now, the Mac version of Chrome is only now starting to reach a usable beta state. Unfortunately, Google tends not to update the official Chrome beta for Mac very often, at least compared to the multiple-builds-per-day that are occurring to Chromium, Chrome’s developer build.
The latest versions of Chromium are quite usable, but you can get out of date in a matter of mere hours. Fortunately, the folks over at TechCrunch hacked together a script with an Automator process for the purposes of checking for and downloading the latest Chromium build.
The net effect is that you can now download a small app called Chromium Updater who’s sole function is to update Chromium, then launch it. Of course, all the scary hand-waving beta software warnings apply: don’t use a beta browser for mission critical tasks, etc. But if you feel comfortable dealing with beta software, you will probably be pleasantly surprised by the current state of Chromium, and the rate at which it improves.
Chromium Updater keeps you on the bleeding edge of Mac Chrome development originally appeared on Download Squad on Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
