Chromium 9 debuts

Google made it pretty clear that Chrome’s new, faster release schedule was going to lead to a rather steep incline on the version number chart, but I’m starting to side with the sticklers here. Last night, Chromium hit version 9. If you weren’t keeping tabs, Chromium 8 was only released two weeks ago. Yep, two weeks. There have been a couple small visual tweaks that you’ll notice right off the hop, the first being a promo panel for the Omnibox (image after the break). Also now on board: password sync support, which is enabled by default. I’m curious, Download Squad readers. Does the version number in Chrome still mean anything to you at this point? To me, it really doesn’t. There are five versions: Stable, Beta, Dev, Canary, and Chromium. Wherever they are in their evolution, that’s what matters to me. As always, you can download the latest Chromium build for your OS here.
