Google heeft de eerste stabiele uitgave van versie 16 van zijn webbrowser Chrome uitgebracht. Google Chrome is beschikbaar in drie verschillende uitvoeringen: stable, bèta en dev. Developmentversies zitten in een vroeg stadium van ontwikkeling en zijn dus het minst stabiel. Nieuw in versie 16 is Sync. Hiermee is het mogelijk om direct toegang tot alle favorieten, apps, extensies, geschiedenis en instellingen te hebben, ongeacht op welke computer of welk platform je inlogt. De complete release notes voor deze versie staan hieronder:
Stable Channel Update
The Google Chrome team is happy to announce the arrival of Chrome 16.0.912.63 to the Stable Channel for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome Frame.
Chrome 16 contains some really great improvements including enhancements to Sync and the ability to create multiple profiles on a single instance of Chrome. You can read about it more on the Google Chome blog.
