You can run multiple versions of Chrome, all you need to do is: 1) Install them into separate directories. 2) Grab the latest trunk build (UnStable! http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/ ) 3) Use a VM or separate computer. > What makes anyone an official tester?

Merging that amount of data is no easy task but I'm positive that Google (or some 3rd party) has their eye on such a task. -- - Adam Shannon ( http://ashannon.us ) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
