Nope, v3 is beta and v4 is dev. Same version numbers for Ubuntu and Windows.

I'm on day two with Chrome v4 (using it on Vista Business SP2) - and it is absolutely fabulous! Not a single crash and it feels rock-solid.

Oh, and superfast.

Now running Chrome 4.0.202.0 - it keeps getting better.

I'm subscribed to the Chrome Dev channel and just updated Chrome this morning to version 4.0.201.1 .

So far very impressed with it, it's superfast and even comes with themes! Woohoo! Not sure if it was worth to name this version 4, but maybe there have been some major tweaks under the bonnet.

Anyone else using it & your thoughts?

let me know when it supports add-ons like Firefox does.

I was quite surprised to see another version so soon after 4.0.201.0, was hoping for customizable thumbnails but not yet!!!!

Any idea what the difference is between the 2 versions?

Garyvdh, if you're running Windows Vista you can have all of those ''add-ons'' as widgets. Why do you want to make your internet browser run like a dog, something Firefox is famous for.

Also, if you haven't noticed, this thread was actually for people USING Google Chrome, not a Firefox fanboy page.

Oh, and if you're running Windows Vista, you already have a Time Zones clock in your system tray. Use it, that's what it's there for.

"The Google Chrome developers announced on August 19th the immediate availability of a new version of the Google Chrome web browser for Linux, Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Google Chrome 4.0.202.2 is here to fix a lot of annoying bugs (see below for details) and it also adds a couple of features only for the Mac platform. However, the good news is that Dean McNamee, one of the Google Chrome engineers, announced yesterday on their mailing list that a working port of the Chrome browser for 64-bit platforms is now available: 'The v8 team did some amazing work this quarter building a working 64-bit port. After a handful of changes on the Chromium side, I've had Chromium Linux building on 64-bit for the last few weeks. I believe mmoss or tony is going to get a buildbot running, and working on packaging.' Until today, Google Chrome was available on both 32- and 64-bit architectures, but it appears that the latter was running based on the 32-bit libraries. Therefore, starting with Google Chrome 4.0.202.2, 64-bit users can enjoy a true x64 version!"

That is great news dequadin!

Will install Chrome 4 on Ubuntu tomorrow. Have never been a big fan of Firefox.

I don't want them as widgets, I want them right in my browser... exactly where I spend most of my time looking. I don't want to have to minimise my browser to look at my desktop... yes I know there is a shortcut for it. But I like having them right where I can see them.

If you want me to weigh up the pros and cons between Firefox (what I am currently using) and Opera (which I only occasionally use), then you can perhaps imagine why these things are important to me. It's got nothing about being a Firefox fanboy... if they make Opera better than Firefox, I will swtich in a heartbeat. I am loyal to free, cheap and cool... not any brand name. If your Opera can't cut it against Firefox's add-ons well then boo hoo for you. But if you are scared of a head to head comparison, then perhaps I am not the one who is the fanboy.
