Google Chrome 6 goes stable, 2nd birthday celebration brings extension and autofill sync
It's Chrome's second birthday today, and in addition to posting some fancy-schmancy images to celebrate Google Chrome's stable channel has been bumped to version 6. For those of you still keeping tabs on version changes, it's only been four months since Chrome 5 went stable.The update means that all Chrome users can now take advantage of extension and autofill sync -- both important parts of Google's desire to keep your 'browsing platform' uniform across all the computers you use.
Version 6 also brings the new consolidated menu, richer content settings (JavaScript, plug-ins, notifications, and the like), and the first-run search engine selection screen. There's also a faster V8 JavaScript engine under the hood.
No announcement yet from the Chrome Blog, but we'll add a link once their official post has gone live. In the meantime, the Chromium blog has a breakdown of some of the more important security updates and feature additions.

There isn't much of a version number difference between the stable/beta and dev builds.
I was using the dev version, but I just switched to the stable one. I got sick of the tiny extension badge icons. Thankfully that's been corrected as of Chromium 7.0.514.0 (58339).

Is there a way to have web apps on Chrome 6 stable build?

Still no integration of smooth scrolling. I know, there are extensions... but they are not giving me the same scrolling experience as I got from Firefox for example.
