If you’re interested in running the latest nightly build of Chromium, Google’s Mac version of popular browser Chrome, then give this a try.

I was surprised that something like this isn’t already available so I whipped it together with some AppleScript. Just download and run this app and you will be prompted with the latest build number, and Safari will download the latest build to your regular Safari Downloads location.
