Google Releases Chrome 12

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

An anonymous reader noted something that will be of interest to the 26% of Slashdot readers who have switched to Chrome: "Google has released Chrome 12, adding plenty of new features to its minimalist web browser and fixing a number of security vulnerabilities. Google software engineer Adrienne Walker said of the safe browsing mode, 'We've carefully designed this feature so that malicious content can be detected without Chrome or Google ever having to know about the URLs you visit or the files you download.'"

    I have Chromium 12.0.742.91 on my computer. Have they really made hundreds of beta releases?

  2. Is 24% enough for us to get a UI fix, Slashdot? by SanityInAnarchy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's getting a bit old that any click within a comment, including within the textarea while I'm trying to reply, gets interpreted as clicking on the "Parent" link, thus requiring me to open the entire thread all the way to the root.
