Google Quashes 13 Chrome Bugs, Adds PDF Viewer

Posted by timothy on Friday December 3, 2010 @01:45PM from the next-please-block-cw-popups dept.

CWmike writes "Google on Thursday patched 13 vulnerabilities in Chrome 8 (stable), and debuted Google's built-in PDF viewer, an alternative to the bug-plagued Adobe Reader plug-in, and included support for the still-not-launched Chrome Web Store. The 13 flaws fixed in Chrome 8.0.552.215 are in a variety of components, including the browser's history, its video indexing and the display of SVG (scalable vector graphics) animations. Next up: Adobe and Google have collaborated to put the Flash Player plug-in inside a sandbox within the dev build of Chrome, an effort by the two companies to better protect users from attacks."

Computer screens aren't good on your eyes. It's better to print everything out and read them by the light of a fireplace, smoking a pipe, and wearing a nice smoking jacket.
