Erek,

in the very first reply to this topic, Mohamed stated:

"Hi Evan, This has been fixed in the latest build.  Chromium
2.0.160.0
(Developer Build 8857)"

My comments are in light of that statement.  Yes, I understand the Dev
build(s) are there for bug-finding, etc, but when bugs in that build
*have been found and fixed*, wouldn't it make sense to release that
later build, or at least allow those of us who are running the Dev
build a mechanism to easily obtain such a later build so that rather
than using a different browser (my solution), we are continuing to
test Chrome and therefore finding any NEW bugs that may be present.

As it is, I (for one) am not finding any new issues, nor testing
Chrome *at all* at the moment simply because the only released Dev
build is unusable on a large number of sites.

Surely, if a large number of testers is what is wanted in order to
find bugs, then it makes sense to provide an accelerated build to
those very testers when a major bug is discovered ***and fixed***.
That's my point.
