There have been 14 so-called beta versions, number 15 is the final version. It is an unusually swift completion of Chrome, which has only spent 100 days from the first beta version of the result you can download today. In comparison, Gmail is still in beta, more than four years after the launch.
A complete version does not mean that Google will stop development of its browser, which has been a somewhat mixed reception. Like Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, will likely be many versions after that - both test versions and finished products.
According to Google, much has changed from its predecessor. A number of errors are corrected, so that the browser now has a half times faster, and both video and audio works more stable. Opportunities for options and safety features are also significantly improved.
Some new features have also been fit. Bookmark function is improved, so people who have many bookmarks now have a better view, and import and export bookmarks from other browsers have been considerably easier.
There is still some way to go before Chrome can be said to be on a par with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. According to Cnet News Google still working on things that are seen as a matter of course in a modern browser: Auto-completion of the text in the name and address fields and built-in RSS reader are just two examples.
Unfortunately only a Windows version is ready. Mac and Linux versions are scheduled to arrive later.
