Google Chrome 2.0.158.0

Google Chrome new version 2.0.158.0 is out, with the introduction of faetures like profiles, auto form submittion. To install, you will need to follow this guide here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel. I have, however, found a problem with the tabs management in Chrome in Windows 7.
