14 DAY TRIAL // Google Chrome 19 has just landed in the stable channel so this is the first time hundreds of millions of users will see it. It's been in the dev and the beta channel for 12 weeks now, so more adventurous users already know what to expect.
Not that there's too much to be excited about, though the new Open Tab sync feature is quite interesting, especially if you're using Chrome for Android as well.
Of course, there are plenty of bug fixes in the newest Chrome and plenty of security patches as well. There's a big list of plugged security vulnerabilities over at the Chrome Releases blog.
But the main attraction is the open tab sync feature. The idea is simple and obvious, it enables you to get access to the tabs you had open at your work computer when you arrive home, or pick up where you left off on your phone.
Initially, the feature left a lot to be desired since it only worked if the device and the browser you were trying to get your tabs from were open when you wanted to access them.
Obviously, not a lot of people would leave their work computers open overnight for the feature to work.
But it's now working as it should, the last tabs you had open the last time you accessed any of your other devices besides the one you're using will be listed in the new tab page, the Other Devices section.
Still, Google is not yet confident enough in the feature to roll it out to more than two hundred million users so it's slowly making it available to users. You'll be seeing it sometime over the next few weeks, unless you've been playing with the dev or beta versions of the browser where the feature is available to most users.
