Google releases Webm to developers
OPERATING SYSTEM DEVELOPER Google has had its Chrome team release the latest developer channel version of Chrome.
Version 6.0.422.0 of its WebKit-based web browser adds support for Google's open Webm VP8 video format.
Once Google considers the Dev builds to be stable enough, they are promoted to its Beta channel for future testing. Of course it could stay in Beta forever.
WebM, Ogg Vorbis and VP8, which are all open source, might get sued by the MPEG-LA film industry licensing organisation that controls various video format and codec patents. But Google isn't worried.
Other changes in version 6.0.422.0 of Google's WebKit-based browser include fixes for a bug that might cause the browser to crash when changing networks or waking from sleep and several Mac and Linux specific issues. µ

I started to use Chrome a few weeks ago, and I absolutely loved it until two or three days ago. After I installed M$ .NET framework 3.5 which I needed for AutoCAD, Chrome wouldn't open any page anymore. It'd say that the page became unresponsive and gave you the option to either kill the page or wait, but nothing worked. I went through a series of forums out there, and it seems that this problem has been going on for a year now. So one of google's staff members answered that you could try something like adding --no-sandbox command line, and it worked, but now when I start Chrome it says that using that option is not supported and makes your machine susceptible for viruses or something like that. There is a lot of people out there with the same problem, and google hasn't done anything about it. I think this is pretty serious (not the fact that Chrome has a problem, but rather that google hasn't done anything or has been unable to solve this). Perhaps you could investigate some of this. I don't want to switch back to FireFox, but I just might have to. Excuse me for my poor english-
