If you are using the revision from which the Dev\Beta version was branched, then yes, you are definitely going to miss some extension system fixes. On the other hand, if you take the actual branch and compile it yourself - it will be identical to the release, be it Google Chrome or Chromium. For example, the latest Dev release - http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/releases/4.0.266.0/ <http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/releases/4.0.266.0/>The latest Beta release - http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/releases/4.0.249.43/
