14 DAY TRIAL // A new version of Chrome for Mac has been released on the Beta channel, according to a post signed Anthony Laforge, of the Google Chrome team. Also available for Windows and Linux platforms, the new build re-enables the integrated Flash Player by default, building on top of the stable release issued earlier this month.
“Google Chrome 5.0.375.86 has been released to the Beta channel on Linux, Mac, and Windows,” Anthony Laforge, of the Google Chrome Team, writes. “The integrated flash player has been re-enabled by default. If you find issues, please let us know: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry,” the post ends. The change applies to all supported platforms, including Mac OS X.
