epi0Bauqu's DuckDuckGo is available as one of the search engine options.

Chrome will automatically add a site's search to the list of available engines when you visit it.

So you'd have to visit DuckDuckGo first to have it available.

I'm fairly certain there was a Google Chrome branded developer release available a while ago, outside the chromium daily builds. It was quickly surpassed feature and stability wise by the daily builds and somewhat difficult to find on the chromium site.

The Developer Channel version of Chrome is updated (while it is running, without a restart) every week or so, from previous Chromium builds. You might not even notice it happen.

their nightly builds have always been available and stable enough for normal use.

I've been using the nightlies on Linux the last few weeks and have had very few problems. Much more stable than Firefox right now due to a packaging error by Arch.

I will keep using Chromium (and manual updates if necessary) until Google releases an official beta. I do not why but I trust more in the developers in Chromiun that in Google itself.

Any word on when Chrome will support password managers? It's less than useful to me until then...

Looks like it's using Keychain, reading passwords I saved in Safari too.

I'm not using Keychain, though, but 1Password...

Its looking pretty good, the only thing I can see missing is that there is no per tab process viewer. I will do a complete switch over to chrome once 1passwd and an adblocker are ported over.

For the latter: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/adblo...

Best I can find for the former: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/lastp...
