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."

    I read this news item and said to myself "Oh, Chrome 7 is out. Maybe I should go get it."

    Then I realized I already had it. It updated while I slept and I was reading the article in Chrome 7.

    Yet it still doesn't have an equivalent to AdBlock Plus.

    And for the Chrome-heads who point out AdBlock, it is a good start but still nowhere near as effective. It lets many ads through, it still downloads and just hides a large chunk of ads, and it does not seem to stop flash ads at all.

    Blender -- current version is 2.49b (after 12 years) and the complete rewrite with new interface will be 2.5x, not 3.
