“A few days ago, Chrome turned 6. Version 6, that is, though
only on the developer preview channel for Windows, Mac, and
Linux.“The move doesn’t mean a radical new version of Google’s browser
is available to test–the changes over the 5.0 series are pretty
minor, chiefly reflecting the fact that a new branch has sprouted
from Chrome’s source-code tree. But the change is important for a
couple reasons.“First and foremost, it means the work of buttoning down
geolocation support and other new features in Chrome 5 can begin in
earnest since experimental work is now happening elsewhere. Chrome
5 will be the first stable release for Mac OS X and Linux, a move
that’s important for attracting mainstream users.”
