Google Chrome 0.3.154.9 Beta (Windows, Open Source, 475KB) [alt DL] is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.
Changes:
- contains mostly bug fixes for 0.3.154.0, but it also introduces a new behavior for downloading files that could be executable content
- Changes the download behavior for files that could execute code
- Enables sorting columns in the password manager, the list of URLs to load at startup, and the Google Chrome task manager.
- Adds a command line switch to start the browser in incognito mode.
- Fixes the new bookmark bubble so that pressing enter with focus on the Edit button actually opens the editor.
- Changes the text in the About dialog to link to credits for other open source software used in Google Chrome and to the Terms of Service.
- Adds support for extended validation (EV) certificates issued ssued by Comodo using the AddTrust root.
- Fixes a problem with videos stopping after 1 second.
- Allows plugins to post forms (for example, Adobe Reader forms).
- Adds better support for Windows Media player, specifically improving detection for that plugin at bloomberg.com.
- Runs plugins at a normal priority so that they do not cause the browser to become unresponsive.
- Optimizes the content-type detector ('MIME sniffer') to do fewer, more reliable checks based on data collected during the Google Chrome Beta.
- Fixes a problem with page content disappearing behind plugin windows. For example, when you type a search on a page playing a YouTube video, the search suggestions stay visible instead of going behind the video window.
- Change the minimum timer resolution for setTimeout() to 4 milliseconds (up from 1ms).

I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
