Could you provide links to recommended builds? If Crockford is reading maybe he can add them.

The Chromium authors provide information on how to use newer builds here: http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

There's also an AppleScript to download the latest 'stable' continuous build of Chromium (full disclosure: I wrote/modified parts of it) here: https://gist.github.com/370298

You can get installers for whatever the latest build is in each channel here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

It's updated so frequently I'm not sure there's a better way to get a specific build.

For IE10 MS pushed out a CTP and said this is a good build to test with. Is there a build in the Chrome dev branches that are more vetted then others. I just wouldn't want someone wasting their time posting results and someone else saying, "Duh, it's obvious that Chrome 12.0.0.12.a had Javascript loop optimization turned off, didn't you read the commit logs? Those results are no good. You should go back to Chrome 12.0.0.5.c to get one that is usable for JS testing".

Yeah, I certainly understand and appreciate the concern. I simply don't know if there's a set of specific builds for that purpose or I would have certainly included them.

You can get specific Chromium builds for most platforms here: http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/
