Building on our previous coverage of Google's chrome browser for OS X Lion, it looks like the development moves faster than expected. In particular, swiping gesture support is already fully implemented (currently the right too) and now the proper screen hit the Canary build browser.

Shortly after the start of the lion a few weeks ago we celebrated the Chrome works, but it was a little wobbly. Because the lion may have changed some default gesture swiping page was broken. And chromium in full-screen mode is not really compatible with the functionality that is built into a lion. Not less than chrome SVP Sundar Pichai said that Google is working on, but notes that "it will take some time".

In the weeks since, dev and beta builds of chrome was very unreliable, constantly crashing. This prompted a number of chrome for Mac users over to Apple's Safari browser. But if this last Canary build Chrome any indication, Google is pushing hard to get the Chrome back up to speed on the Mac.

As for the first time noticed MacStories, support full screen now completely baked into Chrome Canary. And it's brilliant. There have been some disputes about whether functionality should work as it was previously, with absolutely no browser chrome (bottom) showing — or if it should work as Safari and show tabs in full screen mode? Well Google implemented both ways. By default, when you enter the entire screen, you will see tabs, but the new curtain "button removes tabs for you really full screen experience. (Tabs will still pop down when you hover over the top of the screen.)

Swiping gesture based page was fixed a couple of weeks ago, but Google has its back when compared to Safari. As you can see on the boards of chrome, our history flag issue for the team, and they quickly fixed.

In the latest version of chrome in Canary channel is 15. Chrome's dev build is still in the 14, 15 changes should hit soon. Then it will be several weeks before he rolls over all channels of chrome. But rest assured, Leo compatible Chrome is on the way.
