Google Chrome is out of Beta
"Google's browser, Chrome, is officially leaving beta today. "

What does this mean? The latest, "non-beta" version of Chrome is more stable, faster, and features many other fixes and tweaks. If you haven't gotten the latest update through Chrome already, you can go to the official site and download the installer to update to the latest version.

Actually, what it really means is that Google got tired of people complaining about all their products being in beta and just removed the beta designation.

Yep, that's my point. They take a lot of crap for keeping this stuff in beta forever.

Googlt Chrome
I downloaded the Beta and checked out its features. Nice, but not on my machine. You can't selectively refuse first party cookies. All and none are the choices. Doesn't work for me.

Chrome gets Mac deadline, extensions foundation

Showing signs that it's working to meet requests for new developments to its Chrome browser, Google on Friday said it hopes to release versions for Mac OS X and Linux by the first half of the year, and it released a new version Wednesday that paves the way for the most requested feature: extensions.
