Another way to try Chromium on your Mac

In a previous post I discussed how to install Chromium on your Mac. Here’s yet one more way to install what has become Doc’s browser of choice on your Mac and easily keep it updated. The folks over at TechCruch have developed an executable script that will download the latest Chromium nightly build, unpack it, and drop it into your Applications folder. If you don't have Chromium installed, this is a great way to get started. Anytime you want the latest build, simply run the Chromium Updater script again.


Here are the quick steps to get you going:

• Download Chromium Updater
• Double-click the .zip file to unpack
• Double-click on the chromium-updater folder
• Drag the Chromium Updater app to your Applications folder
• Run the Chromium Updater to install the latest Chromium build
• Trash the Chromium Updater folder and .zip file

Be warned that the applications doesn’t provide any visual cues and you won’t know Chromium has been downloaded, unpacked or installed until it actually loads. Are you using Chromium? Drop me a comment and let me know. Thanks to reader Mark for asking this question earlier today and putting it on my radar as a blog post.
