Just wondering if anyone here has or is using google chrome on their Mac. I know its a long shot as this is an android forum, but I thought I would ask anyway.

I think I will download it and give it a try.
 
I use Chrome as my primary on my work Mac. I flip between Chrome, Firefox and Safari on my personal 2012 MBP because of the potential instability (it's a 15" with the discrete GPU).
 
sure thing :p
Chrome is the best browser out there ! hence have no choice but to use it !!

Just that these days i need to manually switch the GPU to integrated using gfxCardStatus

The new chrome tries to use the high performance card , really wondering when this bug will be solved ...
 
I used it a lot back in OSX Lion but this update to Safari 6.0 really makes it compete with chrome. The only thing I don't really like about chrome is the flash...whenever it runs, my mac heats up (About 140F). The same thing happens in Safari 6 but a lot less heat (About 120F).

Odd, on my mid-2012 MBP it flips to the discrete then back to integrated. Firefox actually forces the discrete card for me though.

Ya may be my chrome problem is due to Me running OS X 10.8 ??

That was the difference, I updated to 10.8 today and it now forces the discrete card. Now the only browse that will use the integrated card (which will use less battery power) until the discrete is called is safari.
