Chrome sheds beta tag on Mac and Linux offerings

Software

Google Beta

The Chrome Team is welcoming two more platforms out of beta, as both the Mac and Linux versions of the browser have officially shed their beta tags. The new, stable releases add several features, such as preference syncing and HTML5 compatibilities (geolocation APIs, app cache, web sockets, and file drag-and-drop). The Chrome team also posted a quick note about Flash:

In recent weeks, we’ve been beta-testing Adobe Flash Player integration into Chrome. While Flash Player integration in the browser is not included by default in today’s stable release, we’re excited to enable this feature with the full release of Flash Player (version 10.1) soon.

Head on over to the Chrome download page if you are interested in trying out the new code…and do let us know what you think!

    Nice. I’m still using Safari but I have Chrome as my backup and I’m pretty impressed by it. It feels faster. Eventually I might switch but I like using Safari with Quicksilver (don’t want to switch everything). Safari is still a solid choice but Chrome is starting to look better and better.

    I really like how Chrome uses the ‘Create application shortcuts’ option.

    It has pretty much replaced all my browsers but I still keep FireFox as a back up.
