Good to see the addition of Native client in Windows. Hope we will have RSS support and a better download shelf soon!

When are you guys going to release native 64bit version of Google Chrome for Windows? Been waiting for that for a long time.

Jon, one comment on the removal of the "Remove Item" from the download shelf (issue 23078). This used to be a workaround to clear off the download shelf in incognito mode (please see issue 16072), and now we can't even do this anymore! Don't tell me the next change is to remove the "Show all downloads" link in incognito mode!

I am still hoping for the return of the "Clear browsing data" option on the Tools menu in Google Chrome. I really, really miss the convenience of simply hitting the wrench and scrolling down to that option!
Also, I am still hoping and waiting for Google Chrome to get the option to open/run downloads on the fly rather than only being able to download and save them. A revamped download manager akin to Firefox's would be great! I know that I've beaten this request to death, but I feel that it's necessary.
Finally, I would greatly appreciate it if Google Chrome gets a "super drag and drop" feature akin to Firefox 3.5.
Wishful thinking? I hope not. :)

Hi I have a suggestion about themes. Right now, even when a theme is being used, none of the pop-up windows or dialog boxes within chrome are themed. Will you be enabling 'complete' theming in the future? Thanks.

@ Tom, your suggestion refers to the Issue 16477 (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16477).
Please, star there and/or comment something. =P

Strangely, there is a issue just fixed in Beta and Stable versions.
"The About box truncation in some locales when a new version is available". o.O

Hmm, it must be my PC then. I can't do that with IE or Chrome/Chromium. I will investigate.

I like Chrome from all other browsers. The only thing I suggest is that on Windows Vista and 7 there should be some feature of Aero. I like the fact for example to make like IE did, to display the download progress in the thumbnail from the taskbar or from the tabs on the chrom window. That would be nice!

Is there still a bug with limited download size like in previous dev versions. (where downloads break on ~40 MB)

@ Tom. I've already suggested specifying a solid color in the Theme Manifest for the other windows, because the images make it difficult to read the titles.

I'm confused. This is saying "Toolstrip dragging now restricted to extension shelf."
...so we should be able to drag (and reorder) toolstrip items right?
I'm not able to drag anything at all.
What am I missing??

Not seeing the Extensions menu on the Mac build. Is the Mac build running that far behind in development?

Suggestion for next version: Would it be possible, when you for example highlight the plain text, which is actually internet address, that when you click right mouse button over the highlighted text to open option box where there is now just options "copy", "search with 'highlighted term'" and "show the element", there would be also option to open new page or tab with that highlighted text as net address.
Now I have only two quick options to this case. I can copy my highlighted text, open tab and paste selected text to omni box or I drag selected text to there where the tabs are. I think that this kind of option would speed a lot internet using. Today many people are to lazy or stupid to make actual link of their posted internet address.

On facebook, whenever you click a chat window, a download called pop.mp3 downloads. It only happens on chrome dev and not any other browsers or chrome stable or beta. PLEASE FIX THIS.

Like Taleb and Klu above, I can't type in the FaceBook compose/reply message boxes anymore (either the popup or the regular on-page textarea).
This is as of the Chome 4.0.220.1, in Standard, Beta, or Dev channels..
All other browsers I've tried aren't suffering this issue.

On this release Facebook Messaging System is kind of broken. I can't type any words when I try to send a message, no matter what I type nothing shows up in the boxes. However, I can comment on stuff and use Facebook Chat just fine.

I found an odd situation... One of my webservers (external) ceased to function in IE AND CHROME, while continuing to work in Flock and Firefox (and some others...) Does this mean CHROME uses a similar or identical core/engine or... as IE??? worrying... Everyone knows that IE is hopeless...

This release seems to be very buggy when it comes to secure sites. Sometime they freeze or just show a blank page. This happened to me on several sites i.e. continental.com & ichotelsgroup.com

When a page loads, the bookmark bar goes away; maybe this is a new feature but i would like to keep it. Please make this configurable so that people who need this bar always still have it.

Anyway we can hide or delete the other bookmarks folder from the bookmark bar. I don't use it and don't want it to show up there.
