Google Chrome -- a new browser coming (in beta) in a few hours

Did you see the way it marks search occurrences on the left scroll bar? Nifty! (Search is ctrl F)

Lashiec, is this what you mean by Opera's adblocker:

It's primitive as hell, you have to select ads you don't want to see by hand!

I am not saying that Google is but might. At least some users explains bugs (or protect authors) using this as an excuse.
Maybe it is strange but I feel that I can trust any application with "final" or "stable" suffixes and be sure that authors guarantee some level of professionalism. In the case of beta I can only stay aware that something bad might always happen because no one holds responsibility at all. I am not trying to be like "Google sucks, lol haxorz!!11oneoneone" but I want to point out something strange behind it.
Why, after few years of development, they can't just publish something stable? Does it not make you wander?
Edited
How can "beta" be mentioned in help only if everytime as I go to google.com I can see "New! Download Chrome (BETA) - the new browser from Google" message?

There, a more modern version (click on the Opera logo), it even has an Element Hider, and performs mostly like Adblock Plus on Firefox.

Thanks Lashiec.
Also, does anybody know how to change the minimum default size in Chrome?
