[Rudy]

What's newer (or more bleeding edge), this or Chromium?

[Reacon]

This Youtube crap is annoying. Can't wait for a new Chromium build it fix it.

I have the same YouTube issue. It's stupid. And to think that both Chrome and YT belong to Google...how dumb are those people?!

Dev Channel updated to 7.0.517.5, mainly to bring the Mac build on the same level as Linux/Windows. First post updated accordingly.

The issue with the Youtube 'Like' etc buttons persists btw.

Persists on the latest Chromium trunk builds as well

[Setnom]

This latest build enabled smooth scrolling in Google Chrome. How do I turn it off?

[LightShadow]

If you enable a hashtag in this build, it allows a sort of feature similar to Google Instant through the Omnibar. But is very buggy.

tab swipe in mac os is awesome!

[Haptic]

I like this new scroll on Chrome. :)

[ViperAFK]

Yeah the scrolling is so much better now.

[Setnom]

Does anyone know how to turn it off?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I'm liking the smooth scrolling that came with the latest update :)

Apparently smooth scrolling has been pulled from Chromium due to issues, means an even longer wait for us now!

[Reacon]

Youtube has been fixed! Back to Chromium... and for a bit there I thought I'd have to switch to IE9 for good.

[ViperAFK]

What the hell? Smooth scrolling isnt on anymore in this build.

LAME

Anyway to turn it back on? Please? Chrome is unusable after I got used to having nice scrolling in it for once just to have it taken away lol.

You could download this extension until Google resolves the smooth scrolling issue..

I'd say otherwise it's a fairly solid build, haven't encountered anything negative so far..

Dev updates have been pretty lame as of late, wonder what they're working on that's taking them so long to ramp up the build numbers.

Well you can't oversimplify and add new features at the same time, and the constant speed bump has become old (not to mention useless). Chrome has hit a brick wall imo.

They're stabilising Chrome 7 for the beta channel and preparing the jump to Chrome 8 on the dev channel I'm guessing.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

They've also changed the borders on the "New Tab" page to gray. Also, they've reverted back to the old "New Tab" page.

[mad_onion]

Well it seems to have fixed some of the crashes in the last build. But the new tab page doesn't remember that I collapsed most visited which is annoying.
