Weird, for me it just says "You are using Google Chrome 3" with no release date. In IE and Safari it tells me the release date.

Mine says "You are using: Google Chrome 4" without release date...

Wonder if the version discrepancy is due to OS?

I think it's just for Google Chrome. I think it updates continuously so release dates are a little...useless?

Almost all versions of Chrome will read "released 2009" since the browser has only been around since 2008 anyway.

Negative. Three results from the same Windows XP box:

Google Chrome 3

Internet Explorer 7 (released October 2006)

Firefox 3 (released June 2008)
