Google Chrome Without the Beta
December 12, 2008 by Kirin Knapp
In early September, the internet buzz was all about Google Chrome. Chrome swept across online journals like a mid-summer heat wave. Consumed by Google’s newest Beta release, everyone was analyzing the browser down to the most minuscule flaws. Now, after a few months of adjustments, Google has secured Chrome to their liking and has dropped the ‘Beta’ for their official stable release.
December 11th, Google’s official blog confirmed and explained their newest and official release. Several adjustments were made based on feedback from their users. It is still a little early to tell if everything they did solved all of the bugs, but it is certainly on the right track. Here are the points it focused on:
- More stable audio and video
- Faster start-up and run time
- More manageable bookmark features
- Emphasis on security
All of these were of high concern to their users, and thus high concern of the Google team. Google thanked all of those who submitted their feedback to help improve their browsing creation.
Google does not claim to have fixed everything, and are currently working on even more improvements. They say they are working on an extensions feature which will benefit Mac and Linux users in particular, and an RSS addition that will please many. They are dedicated to adding on to what has already shown to be a step up in the browsing world.
The future of Chrome looks bright. It’s safe to say, that with continued maintenance, excellent support, and a strong team, Google Chrome may prove to be one of, if not the best browser out there.
