Chrome 47 Released (blogspot.ca)

Posted by Soulskill on from the onward-and-upward dept.

LichtSpektren writes: Google Chrome version 47 is now available for download. This release features 41 security fixes, very tiny UI changes (except for the built-in PDF viewer, which was redone entirely), and the removal of the desktop notification center. The iOS version has added new keyboard shortcuts and support for 3D touch.

    Go to Settings. Turn off "Use a prediction service to help complete searches". Or/also press the "Clear browsing data" button and clear browsing history and cookies (or delete the offending entries by hand by going to the "History" tab"). Firefox does the exact same thing, btw.

    RE: "I'll stick to open stuff" -- Chrome is almost entirely FLOSS. The only difference from the BSD-licensed Chromium browser is that Chrome adds in the auto-updater, Flash, and Widevine.
