Web browsers are all the rage these days, and they certainly find a way to slip into the news every other day.
Recently, we've had the brawl between Flock and RockMelt, Flock came out with its latest update to compete rather fiercely with RockMelt, and now, Google brings an update of its amazingly lightweight web browser. Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting Google Chrome 8.0.552.215 or simply, 8
So does the Chrome 8 actually bring something worth getting excited for? Well for one, it is claimed to be the stable version of Google's signature web browser. Whereas, as compared to its previous version, the Chrome 7, this update brings with it around 800 bug fixes and has added support for Google's Web apps. We have a deal sweetner as well, because the Chrome 8 also has a built-in PDF viewer. For people wishing to view the entire changelog for Chrome 8, can get the detailed changelog from here.
The Chrome developers work rather uniquely, as the browser has different branches, infact there are three development channels of the Chrome web browser, being stable, beta and developers preview. This particular version, the 8.0.552.215, has been upgraded to the stable version while just for now, the Chrome 8 will also populate the beta channel, and the 9.x branch is going to be the experimental version of Chrome.
It is about time that Google released the stable version of Chrome, it would definitely help the browser in keeping its position as many people's favourite web browser. Getting the Chrome 8 I'd very simple, as it can easily been downloaded from here.
