Chrome 7.0.517.41 released.

LiE · 20 Oct 2010 at 09:23

Been on this version for a sometime now while it was in beta and it's been rock solid. Now it's been released as stable for those who aren't already on it to enjoy.

Not long ago, we mentioned that we’d be releasing a new stable version of Google Chrome approximately every six weeks to get bug fixes, improvements, and new features in the hands of our users quickly in the spirit of speedy innovation. With that in mind, we’re happy to bring you a new stable version of Google Chrome today.

In this stable release, we’ve focused primarily on hundreds of bug fixes. We’ve also included a few other things that may be of interest to developers, such as full AppleScript support on Mac OS X for UI automation and implementation of the HTML5 parsing algorithm, the File API, and directory upload (via <input type="file" webkitdirectory>). Also, if you choose to block sites from setting any data in your browser’s content settings for cookies, you can now use a new dialog for managing blocked cookies in bulk.

Be warned that the ability to make sites 'ask' if they want to set cookies has been removed after version 6. You may find the extension 'Tab Cookies' useful in this scenario.

I have been running the 7.0.544.0 version for a while, and found nothing wrong with it.

Installing Chrome is annoying. You don't get an offline installer immediately.

And googling the first download link from Chrome's website leaves me to getting version 1.2.183.39.

This a good link to get access to the current stable, beta, dev and canary builds.

The stable channel leads me back onto the same build as above.

Edit - I prefer and always look for an offline installer, is it downloading an old one first and then updating it per chance?

browser any good peoples?
what you think over this ie and ff?

This version seems more stable than the previous ones, I was having fairly regular hanging with several versions of 6.x.

Still no colour management as far as I can see.

I'd take it over FF and IE easily. Faster and more responsive plus the bookmark sync built in is very useful for me over several machines.
