A new Chrome stable release: Welcome, Mac and Linux!
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
In our
most recent beta release
, we fired up all engines to bring to life our
fastest version
of Chrome to date.
Today, we’re bringing all this beta goodness to the stable channel so that it’s available to all Chrome users. We’re particularly excited to bring Chrome for Mac and Linux out of beta, and introduce Chrome’s first stable release for Mac and Linux users. You can read more about the Mac and Linux stable releases on the
Google Mac
and
Chromium
blogs respectively.
Today’s stable release also comes with a host of new features. You’ll be able to synchronize not only
bookmarks
across multiple computers, but also
browser preferences
-- including themes, homepage and startup settings, web content settings, preferred languages, and even page zoom settings. Meanwhile, for avid
extensions
users, you can enable each extension to work in incognito mode through the
extensions manager
.
Our stable release also incorporates
HTML5
features such as
Geolocation APIs
,
App Cache
,
web sockets
, and file
drag-and-drop
. For a taste of HTML5’s powerful features, try browsing through websites developed in HTML5 such as scribd.com,
dragging and dropping attachments
in Gmail, or by enabling the
geolocation functionality
in Google Maps. We’ve also given Chrome’s bookmark manager a facelift with HTML5:
In recent weeks, we’ve been beta-testing
Adobe Flash Player integration into Chrome
. While Flash Player integration in the browser is not included by default in today’s stable release, we’re excited to enable this feature with the full release of Flash Player (version 10.1) soon.
If you’re already using Chrome for Windows, Mac or Linux, you’ll be auto-updated to this latest release soon. You can also try out these new features on our speedy browser now, by downloading Chrome from
google.com/chrome
.
