Google has revealed that they intend to launch the Chrome Beta for Mac in December, according to CNet.

This information comes via Nick Baum, a Google Chrome product manager, in a mailing list posting.

Google is moving to a new extensions presentation technology called Browser Actions which will allow you to interact with extensions through a small button at the top right of the window. Currently only Windows and Linux builds support Browser Actions.

While encouraging developers to update their extensions Baum indicates the expected release date for the Mac Beta.

"We've noticed that many of you have updated your extensions to take advantage of the new UI. We'd like to encourage the rest of you to do so as well,"

"The earlier you switch, the more time you will have to polish your experience for our Beta launch in early December,"

"We realize this means dropping Mac support for a couple of weeks, but we already have people working on that," Baum said. "If you prioritize the Windows and Linux versions, we'll bring you cross-platform parity as soon as we can!"
