Native Client
Chrome for Linux and Mac OS 10.6 can now run Native Client modules directly, no plugin required. To enable this features, run Chrome with the following command line flags--internal-nacl --enable-gpu-plugin --no-sandbox.
WARNING: This should only be used to experiment with Native Client, disabling the sandbox for normal web browsing is dangerous and is not recommended.
We've been adding many of the features that were missing on the Mac, and working hard on making Google Chrome on both platforms more reliable. We've spent a lot of time making plug-ins (like Adobe Flash Player) more reliable.
