14 DAY TRIAL // Google Chrome has made yet another step forward with the availability of two new releases for version 3.0. At the start of October 2009, the Mountain View-based search giant kicked up a notch both the Stable and the Beta flavors of Chrome. It appears that Google is ready to make a habit of this, because, as of October 12, fresh new Beta and Stable builds of Chrome are now available for download. Users of Google Chrome will be able to update to version 3.0.195.27, up from 3.0.195.25. The build string is an indication that the latest releases of Google Chrome Beta and Stable bring to the table minor fixes, focused on stability, reliability and security.
“Both the beta and stable channel have been updated to 3.0.195.27 and contain the following fixes: Fixed an issue where menu items for certain Indian languages were not properly visible. Add support to blacklist the faux www.paypal.com certificate. Added NTLMv2 support on Windows. FFMpeg files now properly have NX/DBCompat enabled. ([The] issue will be made public once this release is fully deployed). V8 crash fix,” revealed Anthony Laforge, Google Chrome program manager.
The first time that Google joined the Beta and Stable channels of Chrome at the hip, it did it for the sake of introducing new artist themes for the open-source browser. Earlier this month, the Mountain View company provided new customization options for Chrome, with the help of various artists. Over 100 Artist Themes for Google Chrome are currently up for grabs from Google, allowing users to personalize their browser in accordance with their preferences.
The past week, Google also offered testers a new version of Chrome through the developer channel. The Mountain View search giant provided early adopters and developers with Google Chrome 4.0.221.6, which is now up for grabs through the dev channel.
