Google Chrome Nightlies

[Crazysah]

Hello guys...

I found these nightlies builds after searching for something on The Google Chrome Browser.

I am wondering if these are the official nightly releases or not?

Link: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapsho...hromium-rel-xp/

Also are those only for Windows XP an not for Windows Vista?

If you have any information or any official source then do post it here.

Nice find.

Not sure if these are official or not.

There are not even a Mac Nightlie release yet.

I'd bet it's official, since it's hosted in chromium.org which is linked from http://code.google.com/chromium/

PS: shouldn't this be in the KHTML & WebKit sub-forum?

They are official builds. They are more like Firefox's hourly builds though since they are build every hour or few.

You can get the latest chrome-win32.zip here, about 12 MB, and extract it to your preferred location.

Thanks for that one, I used that link yesterday to download a build of Chrome and try it out at work (where we can't actually install programs). This browser has some potential.

Downloading now, latest build has a different coloured icon :s

1754 feels slow for me

is this build still affected by the carpet bombing exploit ?

I'm going to wait until the development picks up before getting involved with these. Would definitely be interested in some Mac betas/nightlies when they are ready :D

Options -> Minor Tweaks -> tick "Ask where to save each file before downloading"

carpet bombing exploit fixed ;)

The different coloured icon will probably (in fact almost certainly) be because they are nightly builds. It is easier to distinguish between the nightlies & the betas/finals. E.g. Mozilla have a completely different icon for their Minefield builds (Firefox nightlies).

Someone give me a shout when bigger flash stuff and video sites or page loading doesn't cause the browser to use an entire core to the max.

I like havign a browser that doesn't cause my USB mouse to "lag". when thaty happens I'll try it again, but as long as the cpu usage is liek that I simply can't use it.

Is that the same version used in Chrome beta? Or is it a more recent version?

And I guess that the Chrome logo is proprietary, and the google trademark get replaced by "The Chromium Authors".

Damn seems to load pages even faster than the stable one, fast as hell. Hopefully they will fix the touchpad scrolling issue in one of these nighties.

Glad it's not just me thinking that. 1754 feels slower than stock Google Chrome. :huh:

The :% crash has been fixed already. There's also no need for Google Update.

[supernova_00]

I wish there was an easy to use bonsai/hgweb like mozilla has. It is a pain to figure out the changes made and they don't have bug numbers for every issue to follow the discussions.

I'd say that maybe something in your touchpad driver because my touchpad scrolls fine for me

Look at the top of the issues list dude, TONS of people have this problem, not just me or just do a quick google search. Mostly happens to people with synaptics touchpads regardless of driver version. I tried getting the latest generic one from synaptics but that didn't work and I already have the latest gateway one.

Slower? So I guess it's not worth downloading the latest night build?
