Google's browser forges ahead as Chrome 3 hits dev channel
Don't get too excited just yet, however. The changelog is still fairly short and isn't all that interesting - unless you have hundreds of thousands of bookmarks, in which case you'll be glad to know that some UI lag has been addressed. Tab, window, and Bookmark Extension APIs also received updates and some interface components have been retouched. As now noted elsewhere on the 'net, v3 also supports the HTML5 video tag - something that is probably worth mentioning in release notes, Google...
In terms of the browsing experience, nothing has changed yet. No, there's hasn't been another 30% speed boost to javascript performance.
To download Chrome v3, visit the install page via this link. The latest Chromium nightly builds have made the version jump as well.
At this rate, Chrome should be up to v8 or 9 before GMail hits RTM.

"At this rate, Chrome should be up to v8 or 9 before GMail hits RTM."
Or before we see version 1 for Mac or Linux.

I'm pretty sure Windows would have to become extinct before Google would (grudgingly) consider developing Mac or Linux versions.

The Mac version ok... fine. But Linux? Ummm... My guess would be that the ChromeOS would have it... so that port is almost certainly "in the works"

v2 doesn't work for people behind proxies at work yet, get it sorted google!

I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. Sure, Chrome won't _install_ from behind proxy by default, but just use the standalone installer (available at http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?standalone=1), then Chrome should get online as long as you have your proxy settings configured in IE. It should even prompt you for a username and password, if your proxy server requires authentication.

It does the same thing v1 used to do for months before it was sorted, it asks for the proxy username and password for every site, every reload, every tab and most of the time it asks more than once per page (if there's other sites/adverts embedded)
It's unusable at work, just as v1 used to be (so had to use chromium)
plenty of complaints about it around the web
