Google releases stable version of Chrome browser |
|
 Google has released version five of its Chrome web browser, the first that is out of beta, for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. In a blog post, Google Chrome product manager Brian Rakowski said that since last December, Google has worked at bugs and at building in new features to get the Mac and Linux versions up to speed with the Windows version. The culmination of that effort is in the form of Chrome's Mac and Linux versions that “are ready for prime time.” Rakowski said the performance bar for all three versions has been steadily increasing, with the new stable release for Windows, Mac and Linux being the fastest yet. Chrome 5's significant speed improvements include a 213 percent and 305 percent in Javascript performance by the V8 and SunSpider benchmarks since Chrome's first beta dating back to September 2008. New features include the ability to synchronize browser preferences across computers, new HTML5 capabilities and a revamped bookmark manager. Adobe Flash Player integration into Chrome is still in the beta-testing stage, and in-browser integration is not included by default in today’s stable release. Google said this would be enabled with the full release of Flash Player 10.1 soon. |
