Google Rolls Out Chrome 7

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bright-and-shiny dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google on Tuesday released a new stable version of its internet browser, Chrome 7. The latest update is part of Google's promise in July to release a new stable version of Chrome about every six weeks. Chrome 7 comes with hundreds of bug fixes, an updated HTML5 parser, the File API, and directory upload via input tag. It is available in the stable and beta channels for Windows, Mac, and Linux. 'The main focus was the hundreds of bug fixes,' Jeff Chang, a Google product manager, wrote in a blog post."

    Question: can Chrome lose the HAL Simon mascot please?

    Answer: I can't do that Dave.

    P.S. In all seriousness I don't like the default icon either as it was too distractingly colorful. I switched it to this one, called Chrome Z-Edition.

    OS X. It doesn't have bugs, it has features that are so awesome that to mere mortals, who can never hope to comprehend them, they look like bugs.
