Google Chrome dev

Editors' Note: PLEASE NOTE: Google Chrome for Mac OS X Developer Release is a very early release version and does not yet have some of the functionality that a full general release version would have. Many of the features still under development affect the privacy behavior of Google Chrome for Mac OS X.

From Google:

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web faster, safer, and easier. Use one box for everything--type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. The developer's build tests new features before they're pushed to the beta build, and so it should only be used by those who are willing to risk browsing data loss.

"Fast browser, caused a hang up."

May 23, 2013

Version: Google Chrome dev 28.0.1500.20

Pros

The browser works fast and efficiently.

Cons

While browsing, the whole machine hung. It could not be shut down, and I had to do a hard reboot. I've replaced it with the previous version.

Summary

Maybe it would be better to wait until the bugs are worked out.

they don't care about OUR problems

"No automatic update ('server not available error 11')"

September 09, 2011   |   By GianMarco Tavazzani

Version: Google Chrome dev 15.0.874.3

Pros

standing updates, fast evolution

Cons

The 'Update server not available error 11' is an ANCIENT problem faced by a multitude of users by ages!
There is a heap of solutions online that take time and skill and (what turns me crazy!)are needed again and again because the problem is recurring

Summary

What the hell is waiting the fork of Chromium to solve this annoying problem?
If there is something necessary in a 'dev' version, it's just to have feedbacks on the LATEST version so...
