The new version of Google Chrome looks at stability issues with some of the plugins (Flash most notably) but also addresses the major carpet-bombing security flaw. Other things affected in this release appear to be the speed, as reported by various websites, giving a small boost over the previous version (which was quicker than anything else anyway!)
If you already have Google Chrome installed, it should update automatically and silently in the background – however if you want to speed things up, go to the spanner icon in Chrome and select About Google Chrome where Chrome will do a quick check and prompt you to upgrade if necessary. Of course, if you haven’t downloaded it yet, you can get your copy from here.
Personally, I’m getting impatient for major updates to the platform. The reason is that I want to use it full-time, instead of Firefox, just because it’s so quick and clean looking. However, until there are real updates so that users can install add-ons, perhaps with the ability to block ads (conflict of interests?) then Chrome will always be a test browser as far as I’m concerned.
