  > Apple didn't license WebKit. Apple created WebKit, by forking Konqueror's engine Of course, you're right. I was typing this faster than I was thinking.. Anyway, MS shouldn't even think of pulling something like this, on second thought---because rather than a render-engine replacement, it would end up as yet another "mode" in IE.. > Chrome doesn't update without restarting Of course the binary cannot replace itself while running -- ((although with each tab being its own process and their highly persistent statefulness they might consider silently "rebooting" background tabs)) -- but, well at my end / from my experience, Chrome doesn't restart itself and doesn't prompt about restarting, in most cases -- rather seems to wait until the next time it is restarted by the user. Maybe I get that wrong, but if my memory recalls this as Chrome's auto-update user-experience, that's a feat one way or the other..

    Chrome will display an update arrow on the menu/address bar. If you haven't restarted in a while, it will eventually become a rather insistent red.

      Wow, you mean you've had the patience and lack of ADD to wait a certain period of time without clicking the arrow? You're zen, my friend :)
