Google Chrome Out of Beta

[darkfate]

Well it looks like Chrome has gone Gold and is now a 1.0 release.

I have it installed on my Windows XP partition, but I use trunk builds of Firefox currently on that side. I must say though, it has greatly improved since the betas. The team behind it worked fast and it's stable, but until plugin support and scripting become up to speed with Firefox, I'm going to stick with Firefox.

To download you can either go to http://google.com/chrome/ or go to the about window in chrome and download it. It should also do it automatically eventually.

someone told me about this at college today, what kind of things have improved darkfate? is there anything that still needs to be done?

i wonder when gmail will come out of beta

[darkfate]

I don't think Gmail will be out of beta

It likes sort of the same as the betas. A little faster, doesn't crash as much. There's a bookmark manager. There's probably going to be plugins soon.

Finally.

I loved the way you could just switch the windows around but it was just too buggy.

Thanks.

Well I think the biggest reason they took it out of beta is because of OEMs. An OEM like Dell won't preload something that's "beta" software. If they take that off, they got a chance to have it preinstalled. That's how IE smashed Netscape into oblivion way back when.

Hi darkfate,
I am glad to hear about it. Chrome is one of the best browsers that I liked as it provides a very convenient environment to work in. I am going to upgrade it today itself. Thanks for providing the information. Keep up the good work going and stay connected.

When you switch to the BETA version of Google Chrome you will always get the latest speed and feature updates. Please note that you can only have one version of Google Chrome at a time.
