Wish they would get around to fixing font rendering. Looks absolutely horrible and has done for a long while in Canary / Stable.

Firefox also has major rendering issues if you use visual styles.

Opera, IE and Safari are fine. This is pretty major in a browser considering most of the content you use them for is text.

If you use filehippo then you could just download their update checker and use it to get the latest version :)

A redesign of the Chrome preferences/extensions pages has landed on the Canary branch and is likely to land in the next dev channel build as well. Screenshots:
