Chrome 20.0 stable version

Chrome 20.0 stable version

Google has released version 20 of its Chrome browser within the stable channel for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Chrome Frame.

Even though this is a not very exciting build based on maintenance without any visible changes, there are more than enough patches that will justify the update. The official Chrome Releases blog brings details of the usual top 20 security fixes.

The SVG and PDF-related code has received some useful updates this time, although there are other important settings, including those that prevent sandboxing processes from interfering with each other, which used to be a serious problem within Chrome.

Google states the following:

This release disables some of Chrome’s GPU acceleration features on Mac hardware containing the Intel HD 4000 graphics chip to prevent a resource leak which is causing a kernel panic on that hardware. This is a temporary change while we work on fixing the root cause of the issue.

As for the look, it hasn't changed much except for a few little things; the edges of the bookmark are a little sharper, and the button for the new card is slightly elongated. At first glance, that would be it.

If automatic updating is turned on, then you should already have the latest version of Chrome. If you're still using the old version, you can download Chrome 20.0 from the following link http://filehippo.com/download_google_chrome/
