Google Chrome for Mac will hit beta by December
OS X browser geeks, start salivating ... Reports from around the web are saying that Google's Chrome browser might get a finished Mac version in about month. Stephen Shankland at CNET has been vigilantly monitoring the Chrome development mailing lists, and some talk about Chrome's new extensions UI reveals that the Mac launch is scheduled for early December. Chrome 4 for Windows is in Beta already, while Mac and Linux only recently got their first developer previews. Since the highest-profile new feature in the Chrome 4 Beta is browser actions (Chrome's equivalent of Firefox's add-ons), developers are getting their extensions ready for launch. Apparently, a product manager for Chrome posted a message advising developers to switch to the new browser actions system so they'd have more time to get their code in shape for a beta launch in "early December."

It seems like the release in December is referring to the browser actions feature, not specific to Mac. So I see no reason why a Linux beta would not be released as well.
I don't know about the Mac version, but the Linux version seems to be very ready. The biggest missing feature currently is the bookmarks sync.

I've been running Chrome for Mac Dev Build for a while now, and it seems really stable and smooth. Some of the features, like bookmark manager, aren't available or working yet. Still, its wicked fast and easy to use. Extensions will only make it better.

Same as atfruth. I stumbled upon it one day and it's great. Beta will be cool, but I can't wait for the 'almost bug free' official release.
