Google Chrome’s Dev channel has been updated to version 2.0.158.0. This release fixes a few bugs. Most of the effort in the last week has been spent on passing layout tests that have been failing since we updated to a more recent version of WebKit; those changes may improve layout on some sites, but are mostly minor tweaks you won’t notice. That’s a roundabout way of saying, we probably didn’t fix the issue that’s been bugging you the most this week.
