Google don't even mention the version number in their update posts anymore (http://chrome.blogspot.com/2011/02/dash-of-speed-3d-and-apps.html), I don't think they are increasing by any substantial reason, but rather just for each new set of small features (and every now and then a big one)
I'd assume (it has been suggested by others too) the reason that they don't care about version number (and we shouldn't either) is that everyone is updated to the same version automatically, so there is never a concern of "wait are you on version 3.3 or 3.4?"

Anyone using the dev builds run into a problem with no address in the address bar? It has been happening for a month or two and it is kind of annoying when I try and link stuff but I cant since there is no address up.

I guess it has to do with a extension, now I have to sniff it out.Jzero15 said:

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Applied some of my chrome browser knowledge learned in this thread to my new chrome OS/cr-48 netbook. Basically it dawned on me to go HEY I should try about:flags.
Boom found some interesting stuff being worked on in there like a media player, file system, and background web apps. Now to tinker around with some of this later!!

Would anyone else like profiles in Chrome? Like in Chrome OS. You start chrome, and there is a login screen (if you enable it, of course). You login and your settings, history, auto complete, passwords, etc are accessible.
If you friend wants to use your computer, just log out.
Or if you leave work in the evening, no need to delete the day's browsing history or saved sessions.

Windows needs to auto make a guest account. I love how most nix distros have one standard. Chrome OS created a guest login upon my 1st boot as well.

Incognito Mode is basically guest mode on other OSs.
Yeah, it's a bug with the extension API for extensions that replace the New Tab page. I was having the same problem. As far as I know, the only workaround is to modify the extension to open the clicked link in a new tab then close the current one. Chrome will then switch to the newly opened tab. I had to switch from using links to using JavaScript to accomplish this. Here's some sample code if you decide to try and modify Speed Dial...GhostRidah said:
Code:
function openURL(url1) {
window.close();
chrome.tabs.create({url:url1,selected:true})
}
Code:
<a onClick="openURL('SITE_URL_TO_OPEN');">URL TITLE</a>Problem is if there's no HREF, then browsers don't treat it as a link. So play around. This is just how I do it. I just add CSS to make it have a Hand cursor so it at least gives visual notification of being a link. Also, it won't show the URL in the status bar either. I guess you could get around this by actually making it a link AND opening it in another tab AND closing the original.
Silly workaround for a bug.
Worse part is I won't even know if and when it is fixed.

NeoGAF Chrome Extension.zip - 50.5 KB
To install, use Developer mode on Extensions page and "Load Unpacked Extension". First put it somewhere safe.
I want to know if there's anything I should add to it (Besides a link to the Community forum) before submitting it to Google's Chrome Extensions site. Actually, I'd like to get all my extensions finalized so I can put them up there for easier syncing. (Unpacked extensions can't be synced across computers, i.e. to my Cr-48)
I'll take suggestions for improvements as well. Also... how do I even go about getting it put on the official list?
LOVE this. Thank you!

Thanks! helped a lot.Jasoco said:
Oh yea and nice extension, anyway to change the text on it for windows? does not look as crisp as on a mac =/
If you mean the font, you'll have to edit the CSS to make it Sans Serif. I used "Helvetica Neue", but forgot to add alternate fonts because Windows doesn't have the superior Helvetia Neue font installed.GhostRidah said:Thanks! helped a lot.

If you mean smoothing, no. Windows uses a completely different text rendering style than OS X.
I'll fix the font family in an update. But it's easy to fix yourself if you know a thing about CSS. Just edit the "popup.html" file's CSS section to add font-family: Helvetica, Arial; or whatever font you want to use.
Eventually I'm going to sign up for the Extension store and upload it. But as I said, I want to know that I'm not stepping on any copyrighted material by releasing this extension. (Mainly because the banner is a direct rip of the one used on the site up in the corner.) I need a blessing from Mr. GAF himself.

the point about whiskey media was that they encode the video with h.264 and serve it in a flash player for most people except for that html5 theatre mode or if you're browsing on an iOS device, then they serve h.264 without the wrapper.
I wasn't aware that youtube had converted all their videos to WebM. i thought it was still a work in progress.

I don't know anything about CSS and I was able to change the font in a heartbeat. Thanks for the instructions. Besides it looking a little blurry, this extension is perfect!

The WebM conversion is more than 80% complete, and all new videos are automatically converted to WebM.

I wouldn't mind having profiles in Chrome.. while incognito works fine for when I go on other peoples computers, I'm always too late (after signing me out of gmail and facebook) to tell others to do the same on my computer
But better yet, when synced passwords come into play in stable, you definitely wouldn't be able to sync on other people computers without having a profile login system in place

Problem: When I scroll a page with the mouse wheel, the page gets "unfocused".
I mean, let's say that I'm typing like I'm doing now in the text field to make a gaf post, and I touch my scroll wheel, my cursor and focus disappear from the text field, and I have to click in the text field again to be able to continue typing.
It's really annoying. Since the focus on the page is lost due to scrolling, no keyboard input works anymore: space bar for scrolling, ctrl+f for searching, ... Nothing works. I have to click on the page again before I can do any of that stuff.
Any solutions for this?

Someone please help me with this issue...googled and googled and I cant figure it out
I cant open files in Chrome from the bottom download bar. They open fine in Finder, but I click it in Chrome and it doesnt do anything.
Running OSX 10.6.6
Chrome 9.0.597.102
It's been like this for a very long time though. Can't remember when it first started.

Is there any news on Chrome ever being properly color-managed?

That's kind of the point. 
They're supposed to look the same but in Chrome they don't.
