A comment on Chrome Release Cycle.

One 'problem' with this modus operandi is that some companies use the big releases as selling points. It is interesting that the Chrome team does not feel the pressure to do this. Especially considering how heated the browser war is these days. Everyone seems to think Firefox 4 is going to be the salvation, for example.

On the other hand, the silent updates are a blessing, and good features are another way of attracting users.

As the presentation explains: market features, not versions.

Well, Google does make some noise about releases. I forget which version (proving your point) of Chrome brought the Store, but at the time it was touted by version number, despite the silent update. Probably something we'll see more of as companies move to the cloud and mobile.

The version number was touted by tech blogs and other media, but not by the Chrome team themselves, a point which they made in response to a comment here on HN if I remember correctly.
