Google Chrome 0.3.154.9 bèta
Er is een nieuwere versie beschikbaar van deze download.
Op 2 september 2008 bracht Google na lang speculeren eindelijk hun eigen browser uit, genaamd Google Chrome. Deze browser maakt gebruik van de WebKit engine en valt op door zijn snelheid.
Chrome is ontzettend snel met opstarten en laden van webpagina's. Vele malen sneller dan zijn concurrenten IE en Firefox. Verder is de browser vrij kaal net als google zelf. Gewoon simpel opgezet maar wel doeltreffend. Wij vinden het in elk geval een aanrader. Voor een beter overzicht van deze browser, check de video!
Vandaag werd er een update uitgebracht van de browser. Alle precieze veranderingen kun je terugvinden in het changelog.
Changelog:
The release contains mostly bug fixes for 0.3.154.0, but it also introduces a new behavior for downloading files that could be executable content:* r3285 Changes the download behavior for files that could execute code (exe, dll, bat, etc.). These files are now downloaded to unconfirmed_*.download files. In the browser, you're asked if you want to accept the download. Only after you click Save is the unconfirmed_*.download file converted to the real file name. Unconfirmed downloads are deleted when Google Chrome exits.
