It's beta 0.2 but that whole thing is irrelevant because google keep their shit "beta" for like 5 years
some of the complaints aren't that minor either since flash support is SO FUCKED UP on this browser and it still crashes the whole browser not just one tab most times I've tried it with the latest version
I don't think anyone's being that hostile
edit: another complaint I got is I can't play wow with this open like I can firefox/opera because it keeps DOING THINGS without it telling me to and fucks my framerate into the ground
you probably crashed the plugin. You should be able to just exit the plugin instead. (Shift+Esc)
Also I've never experienced this before. And yeah it's lacking a lot of stuff but it became public like 2 days ago, so give it some time.
Ironically I wanted to hate this browser when I first installed it.
Edit: HL do you know about everything you're talking about, or are you just reading off stuff from the fantabulous comic.
Edit2: Hey I just noticed tabs to the same site are interconected.
