Download Google Chrome 1.0

Google has finally released the full version of Google Chrome browser and yanked the 'beta' label off it. Google Chrome 1.0 is available for download and installation on Windows.

Chrome’s official release comes at a time when Google is accelerating efforts to redefine the browser around open Web standards while adding rich media and secure code extensions. Google’s open source native project is just one possible future for the Chrome platform, where applications can run in a browser but incorporate native code modules. For example, this would allow developers to perform image processing on the local client without requiring round trips to the server.




This finished version focuses on stability, plug-in performance and addresses the audio-video glitches. Speed has also been their main focus and Google boasts improved V8 JavaScript Engine, bookmark manager, and privacy controls.

Chrome engineers are next working on adding features like form-auto fill and RSS support to Chrome. Like Firefox s addictive and productive extensions, Chrome is also going under development on the same path, along with support for Mac and Linux. Chrome's new extension system is expected to allow independent developers for bringing richer functions to the browser.
