Chrome No Longer Beta
by Wyatt WalterGoogle announced today something that I didn’t realize they were capable of doing. They removed the “beta” label from Chrome and announced it was ready. Chrome is the search giant’s new browser and has been in a beta release stage since early September of this year and it was announced by Google today that it is ready and will remove the beta label. Google will also be working on Mac and Linux versions that are “coming soon”. Google is boasting better stability, speed, bookmark manager and privacy controls in the new non-beta release. They stated in the announcement that the 1.0 release is 1.4-1.5 times faster than the first beta at interpreting JavaScript using its V8 JavaScript Engine. The announcement also admits some of this early release’s shortcomings: missing form autofill, an RSS interpreter, an extensions platform, and support for other OS’s besides Windows.
