I'm gonna wait a month for v20.

Just updated to v15 and the new home page is actually pretty nice.

might wait for version 2000, it will be out in a few months

And now Chrome is marketing on the number of changes made. This reminds me of the Dilbert strip where Dilbert has to sell a product as having 20,000 lines of code, because it was the only thing positive they could say about it.

I'm not saying this is the case with Chrome, but the comparison is amusing. =]

nice. I used to have IE, firefox and opera, but it was chrome the one who gave me all I wanted in a browser.

Opera's slow release cycle is really fitting my needs.Every time I use some other browser it is updating.

I put chrome on computers I build for people, but use firefox on my own. I really do like chrome and may switch as long as I don't get any plug-in crashes like a while ago 🙁 It's cool google pays regular people to find bugs for them. I am sure having an in-house team do it on regular time keeps down most flaws, but having a rewards system for hackers and programmers to find security flaws is a smart idea in my opinion.

How can an update be invisible if it changes the appearance and functionality of the browser? Seamless, perhaps (depending on what you define as "seamless"), but it's not really any different to Firefox with auto-update enabled as it is by default.

Opera's updates pretty much have to be slow though. Unlike every other browser, Opera innovates and makes major changes with each new release. Many features in Chrome and Firefox are cloned Opera features. I still prefer Firefox myself, but I'm a man of habit

More versions also keep them circulating around. FF is on it to. Its like self promotion.

 

[nikorr]

FF is on it too.

People should stop hating on Google for making new versions of the browser would you rather have it outdated. Its better this way.

Note why i hate FX i would rather use Chrome the only search engine i use is Google.

 

[CaedenV]

Looks nice, and the sliding new tab thing looks very tablet friendly; perhaps they are looking at tablets/smartphones in the future?

The default search provider determines your browser preferences?

 

[shoelessinsight]

I don't like that recently closed tabs are an extra click away. I hope they line those back up along the bottom in a future release like they had before.

 

[legacy7955]

I usually what a week or two before I update after the initial release of the new version .....just in case.

 

[eddieroolz]

I applaud Google's approach to tackling bugs, but I still refuse to use leaky browser.
