Now you can run the latest Google Chrome on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.x. The Google Chrome application icon should now show as normal. I've tried twice to download Chrome, which claims it can operate on 10.6.8, but once I try to open it, it says it can't work on my mac – user153750 Oct 22 '15 at 17:59 Yup, Chrome does not work on 10.6.8.
