Chrome: beta for Mac in December

According to earlier announcements, Google wants to release the first beta version of Chrome web browser for Mac OS X till the end of the year, but at the expense of many valuable features.

Developers decided to move several functions to the second beta version. The reason is that Google wants to release the browser before January 1, 2010.

The first beta release will lack such functions as the Bookmarks Manager, "App Mode", Process Manager, favorites synchronization, support for multi-touch gestures and full-screen mode.
