At Google Chrome's first birthday just two weeks ago, we looked forward to an action-packed year for the browser and the web. Thanks to a full year of great feedback from our users, we're kicking off our second year of Google Chrome with a brand new stable release. This release comes hot on the heels of 51 developer, 21 beta and 15 stable updates and 3,505 bugfixes in the past year.

Can you save sessions of tabs yet?

Are mouse gestures integrated in this one? The last build I tried didn't have them and I've gotten to used to them.

I'm on 2 (well, 4 now) but have always had the tabs I had open previously open when launched next.

Options -> Basics -> Restore the pages that were last opened.

More importantly, can you re-open a closed tab yet? Always miss that feature in Chrome.

Is it exactly the same as firefox yet? If not then I'm not interested!!!!111
Sorry but that seems to be what people are asking

I like this release of chrome, the themes are a bit crap but a step in the right direction.
At least it still loads web pages nice and fast ^^

ricky200 · 17 Sep 2009 at 10:42

tested it and its good browser but i still prefer ff for its plugins.

An official Mac release seems imminent as well

Not really... I want the speed and simplicity of Chrome with the extension library that Firefox has. Chrome makes Firefox look dated in some ways (interface and general responsiveness), but I just can't give up my extensions.

Ctrl + Shift + T
It's done that for the past few versions I think?

That's interesting, I've always wondered if this would beat safari on a mac...

I've never really been into FireFox, there's just too much rubbish out there for it. Always prefered Opera as it's slightly more classy.

Wonder when the Google OS is due to be released. :cool:
