Google has released an early preview of the Chrome browser for Windows 8 through their developer channel.In order to try out Google Chrome on Windows 8, download and install the browser from the Chrome Dev Channel and make sure you set Chrome as your default browser.
You can download the Windows 8 Release Preview here.
The initial releases of Chrome in Metro mode will include integration with the basic Windows 8 system functionality, such as charms and snap view. Over the next few months, we’ll be smoothing out the UI on Metro and improving touch support.The Metro version of Google Chrome is quite similar to its desktop counterpart. Google has included larger tabs to support touchscreens. The tabs are always visible unlike on Internet Explorer 10 – where the tabs stay hidden in Metro mode.
Features like Incognito mode and full flash support will be available on the Metro version of Google Chrome. Keep in mind that we wont see Google Chrome on Windows 8 RT (ARM) tablets, so having flash enabled isn't really an issue.
Swipe Upward on Google Chrome toggles full-screen browsing while right clicking shows the context menu. Given that in Windows 8, the right click and the swipe up have the same function we hope that Google will be more consistent with the Window s8 design principles in their future releases.
Google has even brought the Pin to Start Screen option, which doesn’t work yet and causes the browser to crash..
