Google Chrome 4.0.249.22 - Development version of Google web browser. (Free)

Google Chrome is a web browser under development by Google, created to be a modern platform for web pages and applications. It utilizes very fast loading of web pages and has a V8 engine, which is a custom built JavaScript engine. Because Google has used parts from Apple's Safari and Firefox browsers, they are making the entire project open source.

Google notes that this development build still lacks privacy features and is not appropriate for consumer use. A list of known issues is available for the development Mac version.
