Out of curiosity;<p>Google Chrome was released about 37 months ago. 15 versions were released since then, so Google averaged about 15/37 versions per month, the "Chrome constant." Lynx was released in 1992, around 228 months ago. 228(15/37)=v92. So, were Lynx to have used an approximately similar version enumeration to Chrome, it would currently be at around version 92.<p>Similarly:<p><pre><code> Opera: 178 * (CC) = v72
Konqueror: 180 * (CC) = v72
Firefox: 83 * (CC) = v33
Internet Explorer: 194 * (CC) = v78
Safari: 105 * (CC) = v42
Lynx: 228 * (CC) = v92
</code></pre>
Another note of interest is that almost all of these browsers had their respective releases in September or October.
Chrome has a wee bug that is incredibly annoying once you notice it, and it's still not fixed in V15. To reproduce, go to any web page with a confirm dialog:<p>1. Think of a secret number between one and ten (or higher if you are a patient person!)<p>2. Trigger the dialog.<p>3. Count up to your secret number.<p>4. Click OK on the dialog.<p>5. Count up until the page disappears.<p>6. And that's your secret number!<p>Basically Chrome freezes after a confirm dialog for the same amount of time that you take to click the OK button. Most people assume it is just the following page is taking a while to load. I'd be interested in how widespread it is - it's affected every instance of Chrome I've come across, on Windows and Linux.<p>Oh, and please star the issue here if it affect you. <a href="http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=98275" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=98275</a>
Ugh they didn't take the left-right scrolling/history thing out in OSX Lion from the beta. Infuriating that I can't scroll left without going back one page.<p>Any setting discovered yet to turn this off?
Anyone else noticing a big speed increase? Chrome 14 was actually much slower than the prior few versions on my 7 year old Windows XP system (1 GB RAM). I'm experiencing much faster page loads with Chrome 15.
The canary build had a bottom tab for bookmarks. It seems they've taken it out, so I still have to install an app for every site I want a link on the new tab page for.
