Chrome 6: Early peek under the hood

<a href="http://img.deepgamers.com/1278097072.png" rel="nofollow">http://img.deepgamers.com/1278097072.png</a> A friend of mine has benchmarked the beta of Chrome along with several other browsers on his own PC. It's pretty impressive except for that weird box that gets cut out from the acid3 test.

One thing I do wish is that they'd stop mucking about with the security model in places that weren't important. Ever since they stopped allowing local xml files to render with stylesheets, my life has grown much harder.

Does the Chrome team think they need to reach version number parity with the other browsers? At least from a UI standpoint, the current version of Chrome that I'm using (5.0.375.99 Beta) is not enough different from the first Beta to warrant 4 full version numbers. About the only features that I can think of that are visibly new are the themes and the extension system. Did themes come with v4?<p>Also, if there are good reasons to warrant full version number change, then why are those versions installing automatically? A full version change is not an "update". It should be much more explicit to the user that a new full version is available.

Wonder how many sites search for 6 in the user agent to filter I.E. 6 or to set a custom css file
