Subject: Google Chrome 4 beta
Google Chrome is certainly tearing through the version numbers
quickly.  I suppose it's got a lot of catching up to do to join Opera
on version 10. :)

I don't know if the beta version at
<http://www.google.com/landing/chrome/beta/> is 3 or 4.  However,
Google Chrome 4 can be downloaded from
<http://download.cnet.com/Google-Chrome-beta/3000-2356_4-10958228.html...>.

Portable version of Google Chrome 4:

I have been running beta 4 for a few weeks. It works very well and
I've not had any problems. What I like about Chrome is it's simplicity
without any loss of functionality.

Wow, what is taking up all that space?  I don't care about the space per
say, but I'm curious about how it's used.  I just checked my Firefox folder
and it's using about 27 megs.

I like Chrome cuz it's fast and stable and doesn't lock my mouse. Love
the smiley when it recovers  :-) Don't like auto updates.

Once there's a stripped down version for Chrome. Is it still around?

There's a version called "Iron" if that's what you're looking for.  It's
developed by a company in Germany called SRWare:

<http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_news.php>

A brief description of Iron:

Can you say a little more about this?  I've tried Chrome a few times
including the 3.X builds.  Yes it's clean and simple.  It's also "one size
fits all".  I use Firefox because it can be customized to do exactly what I
want.

There's not much else I can say. Chrome does exactly what I want
without any customization.

I see they are still violating the intended use of the %userprofile%
folder as a data repository and instead using it to install their
*programs*.

Can't see what is new in the v4 beta version.  Would help if Google ever
bothered to provide a What's New document for each version so users
would actually know what is new, especially since "new" implies
something got added or changed but users shouldn't have to guess.  Looks
like we get stuck with an overview description of the new version by
reading blurbs in a blog.
