Google updated its Chrome browser's developer's builds to version 5 for Windows and Mac today, the first time any version of Chrome has reached that milestone. Google was expected to push version 5 out to the public before the end of the month. Unlike the more recent versions of developer's build 4.x, the developer's builds of Chrome 5.x seems to be starting off to a rough start.

The new version number comes with a number of bug fixes and some new features, as well. The Content Settings window in the Options menu makes its debut, with in-depth tweaks for cookies, images, JavaScript, plug-ins, and pop-ups. Mostly, these tweaks allow users to block sites from using those tools. The cookies tweaks are more granular, and a non-functional link implies that users will be able to customize Adobe Flash player storage settings in the near future.
