Google Chrome Is Out of Beta
BitZtream writes "This morning Google announced that Chrome is out of Beta, and showing improvements for plugin support, most notably video speed improvements. It also contains an updated javascript engine, claiming that it operates 1.4 times faster than the beta version, and work has begun on an extensions platform to allow easier integration with the browser by third parties."
Yes. We know something you don't.
Every search and keystroke is recorded, aggregated and inspected by "GOOG".
My clients have sensitive work and client lists that can not be known by their competitors or the public. Having GOOG know about it is unacceptable.
Give your network team a thumbs up for me.
The only reason Google is "free" is because YOU are the product. YOU and all the data, searches and clicks are sold to marketers and advertisers and most likely the government.
btw, who do you work for? I'll call them and thank them myself.
Google need some new guy in the marketing department. The biggest failure of Chrome is the name. The same with Android. They had the chance to use a cool name that makes the product name easy to pronounce, sharp and sticks to the common people, instead they used a feminine (aka gay) name only geeks in labs would find cool (if at all). The timing of the release was also an epic failure (premature), these days you don't tell the world you're the best browser without at least a respectable amount of plug-ins available. Bottom line, if they released Chrome under a better name and a small plug-in library and turn off the updater, they'll have at least double the user base right now.
Right, I'll go for this right after firefox reaches IE's compatibility...
