As Wired reports, the makeup of Google Chrome 2.0 Alpha indicates that the browser could be hitting the Mac (and Linux) platform at any moment. The major roadblock for version 1.0 to go cross platform was that it was based on the Windows-only WinHTTP library. This was likely to get the browser out the door on Windows as soon as possible.
The Chrome 2.0 alpha also has some big news for for Mac and Linux users who’d like to try Chrome: Chrome 2.0 uses its own HTTP network library rather than the WinHTTP library on Windows.
