I test drove the latest nightly build of Chrome/Chromium for Mac dev version. Interestingly, the version number is 4 now (4.0.202.0 to be exact).
Apparently there are improvements over the previous versions. Noticeably, Flash player is getting better – now I can see Flash animations on most sites. And the IME problem was fixed, too. I can input other languages in text box now!
Still, it is not quite there for production. For example, a process called “Chromium Helper” is using 99% of CPU when I was on gmail. After playing around it for a while, I decided to stick to Firefox and Safari.
That is exactly what Chrome team has been telling people. Let’s hope the next version will be better.
