It's almost kinda' creepy. I'm running Chrome dev. channel. The updates are so silent, the only way I can tell what version I have is to look in the about box. Although now and then an extension stops working. Still, it's way less intrusive than FF updates.-MilesAhead (September 22, 2010, 06:05 PM)

it does sound creepy since you put it that way. maybe an optional tray tip wouldn't hurt, i guess.. :)

I think I found a happy medium:
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/62116/
There are newer nightly builds but this one is working nicely. I got the zip not the installer.
I removed Chrome 7.x dev I was using and got rid of google updater. I also looked in the
registry for the supposed hidden unique ID. I couldn't find it under the reputed keys. I'm
hoping this means they really got rid of it in Chromium.
I just logging into my sync. The only thing that didn't work off the bat was Speed Dial.
But I copied the Local Storage folder from Chrome 7 and that got me going without redoing
the dials.
Supposedly this has hardware acceleration on by default. I don't notice any difference.
Either it's off or I have a crappy video card or both. :)
Other than that, everything seems to work great. Now I don't have to worry that
silent update will hose stuff that works just for the thrill of updating.
All I did to "install" wan unzip the file to its own folder and make a shortcut.
Some settings I got from chrome 7.x. About the only thing I had to update
manually was the search engine settings.
You may want to get all your extensions running and leave the old chrome on for a few days
until you see how stable 8 is for you. In 2 days I haven't gotten a crash dialog though. Seems
smooth.

new version based on Chromium 7 is now available.. among others there is a beta GPU-supported rendering. this can be enabled via a cmd-line parameter: --enable-accelerated-compositing. haven't tried that though..
