Chromium Is Still No Native Chrome On OS X

What is all of the noise about Chromium on OS X and why is everyone so intrigued by it? Designed to use WINE technology, Chromium allows OS X and Linux users the option of enjoying a near native experience with the latest that Google’s Chrome has to offer.
All of that being said, sadly, it also out performs Firefox in various javascriping tests as well, follows up with good results from Safari. So despite the bugs in using Chromium as a standby until Chrome for OS X is finally released, Chromium appears to do pretty well for alpha quality software.
So if you are interested in seeing a little of what Chrome is about, realize completely that Chromium on OS X is quite buggy, then I would say go for it and enjoy.

You could just use the official native builds rather than the Codeweavers Crossover ones:
