This has the webRequest API so blocking video ads with an adblock extension should work as good as Firefox now.

yes, thats an awesome feature. I was waiting for download protection. it protects all those stupid people who download and install what ever they find in the internet.

Coolnovo (previously ChromePlus) has a bookmarks sidebar of sorts but its slow to catch up with the official Chrome builds.

Noticed it in the list with all my Debian updates this morning. Loving Chrome, :-)

I'm getting a weird visual glitch with any YouTube downloader extension / script, like this:

This was after I updated to Chrome 17 stable. I was using Chrome 17 beta before.

its an experimental features and it is disabled by default. it will make it to the stable build after few stable releases.

[Mr. Gibs]

Eh the smooth scrolling in Chrome is still pretty awful compared to Opera. However I prefer using the MinimumSmoothScroll extension to the built in smooth scroller, just think it works better.

The Chrome Stable channel has been updated to 17.0.963.65 on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame. This release fixes a number of issues including:

• Cursors and backgrounds sometimes do not load (bug 111218)
  
• Plugins not loading on some pages (bug 108228)
  
• Text paste includes trailing spaces (bug 106551)
  
• Websites using touch controls break (bug 110332)
  

Along with these fixes, the release contains an updated version of the Adobe Flash player. More information on Flash updates is available from Adobe.

Security fixes and rewards:

Firstly, we have some special rewards for some special bugs!

• [$10,000] [116661] Rockstar CVE-1337-d00d1: Excessive WebKit fuzzing. Credit to miaubiz.
  
• [$10,000] [116662] Legend CVE-1337-d00d2: Awesome variety of fuzz targets. Credit to Aki Helin of OUSPG.
  
• [$10,000] [116663] Superhero CVE-1337-d00d3: Significant pain inflicted upon SVG. Credit to Arthur Gerkis.
  

To determine the above rewards, we looked at bug finding performance over the past few months. The three named individuals stood out significantly. It also shouldn?t come as a surprise that they all feature (and earn more!) in the release notes below.

We have always reserved the right to arbitrarily reward sustained, extraordinary contributions. In this instance, we?re dropping a surprise bonus. We reserve the right to do so again and reserve the right to do so on a more regular basis! Chrome has a leading reputation for security and it wouldn?t be possible without the aggressive bug hunting of the wider community.

Please seethe Chromium security page for more detail. Note that the referenced bugs may be kept private until a majority of our users are up to date with the fix.
