After months of work for the Google team and months of waiting for the users Google have finally announced a new stable version of Chrome for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Since December of 2009, the Google team have been chipping away at bugs and building in new features to get the Mac and Linux versions of the browser running as well as the Windows version, and now Google can announce that the Mac and Linux versions are ready for prime time.
The performance bar for all three versions keeps getting higher: this weeks new stable release for Windows, Mac and Linux is apparently the fastest yet, incorporating one of Google’s most significant speed improvements to date. The speed has improved by 213 percent and 305 percent in Javascript performance by the V8 and SunSpider benchmarks since the very first beta, back in Chrome’s Cretaceous period (September 2008).
Users may also notice that the new stable release comes with a few new features added, including the ability to synchronize browser preferences across multiple computers, new HTML5 capabilities and a revamped bookmark manager. The full list of new features is available over on the Google Chrome blog.
Any current users of Google Chrome will automatically be updated to the new version and anyone that wants to try the stable version that does not already have Google Chrome can do so by simply visiting the Chrome website and downloading the browser.
