Google Chrome v15 Released

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?

Does anyone here actually use Chrome apps? I personally don't really get the appeal, but maybe someone can explain it.

Best new feature: different colors for padding and margin in the inspector. Already super useful.

I'm pretty excited about being able to sync open tabs and search engines. Still have to enable it in about:flags though.

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.

Is there any way to change the New Tab page without the help of extensions? I prefered it blank which you can't do now.

Why is Bing the default search when first Installed?
