Google heeft in de vorm van versie 1.0.154.46 een update van zijn webbrowser Chrome beschikbaar gesteld. De nieuwe versie kan hier als webinstaller voor Windows XP en Windows Vista worden gedownload en neemt 500 kilobyte schijfruimte in beslag. Chrome opent elke tab in een eigen proces, die als desktopapplicatie kan worden gebruikt. Verder is de webbrowser voorzien van een eigen Javascript-engine. De release notes van Chrome 1.0.154.46 zien er als volgt uit:
Google Chrome's Beta and Stable channels have been updated to 1.0.154.46. (Note, we won't have a different release for the Beta channel until we have something Beta-worthy come out of the Dev channel in February.) This release fixes issues with two popular webmail providers:
- Sending mail from Yahoo! Mail works again.
- Windows Live Hotmail now works. While the Hotmail team works on a proper fix, we're deploying a workaround that changes the user agent string that Google Chrome sends when requesting URLs that end with mail.live.com.
If you've been using the --user-agent switch to use Hotmail, you can remove the switch from your shortcuts with this release.
