Those of you who are tired of reading about all the great features Google has been packing into Chrome's beta and developer channel builds, it's time to break out the Guinness. A fortnight after Google Chrome's first birthday, Google has bumped the stable version to 3.0.195.21.

So what does that mean, exactly? The stable version now includes features like the updated new tab page, improved omnibar, and themes support. Oh yeah, there's also the Javascript performance boost -- at last check, the V8 engine's power level was well over 9,000. Or 150% better than Chrome's first beta release, anyway.

HTML5 support has also made its way into the stable channel, making it possible to take advantage of things like the <video> tag (try it out here) and <audio> and <canvas> elements. Check out Chrome Experiment #50 to see audio and canvas at work.

Bookmark syncing and extension support still aren't included - those are still reserved for the daredevilish types running the beta and developer channels.

Insert snide remark here: Three major versions in a year, huh? At this rate, Google will be pushing Google Chrome 7 by the time Mozilla ships Firefox 4 in 2010.

Flock, the Mozilla based web browser still under development in private beta, is getting a nice overhaul with its 0.9 release tomorrow. If you're not familiar with Flock, it was released in 2005 with much anticipation and hype as the social network browser. Flock was created to integrate various social networks into one browser platform so you could conceivably post items to your blog, update your Facebook page, upload to Flickr and all the while stream YouTube videos.

It didn't live up to its hype for various reasons and some would argue, Firefox accomplishes all these social network tasks with their never ending inventory of useful add-ons.

However, the blogosphere's consensus is Flock 0.9 is a bird of a different feather (no more bird references, we swear) and is quite positive about Flock's new makeover. Here are some nifty features:

My World: Flock tells you when your friends have new photos and videos and when you have new feeds. My World gives quick access to your recently visited favorite sites as well.

Account Detection: Informs you when there are available feeds and media streams on a page and when your account log-in can be configured with Flock.

Video Support: Find YouTube and Truveo videos with the Media Minibar.

Online Favorites: Easily post your favorites to del.icio.us and ma.gnolia.

Drag'n'Drop: Drag and drop photos and images from the Web Clipboard to webmail, comments, blogs, etc.

BlogEditor: Added Blogger and LiveJournal support. Also, now you can preview what your blog post will look like before pushing 'Publish.' Tags are now enabled and have included Technorati, Livejournal and Blogger-specific tags.

Photo Uploader: Edit options for a specific photo or the whole batch; easily set photo to commonly selected sizes

Flock has these media apps covered:

Blogging: Blogger, LiveJournal, Xanga, Wordpress.com, Typepad
Media: Flickr, Photobucket, YouTube
Bookmarks: del.icio.us, ma.gnolia

We realize you can't have everything, but where's Twitter? New guy on the block, Pownce? Maybe we can expect to see Flock support these additions in the 1.0 release sometime this fall.

Flock runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Thanks FF!
