Google heeft de eerste stabiele uitgave van versie 17 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. In versie 17 is onder andere de omnibox verbeterd. Terwijl je nog bezig bent de zoekterm in te tikken, haalt Google alvast de pagina op die het denkt dat je wilt zien. Deze verschijnt daardoor een stuk sneller. Verder worden nu ook downloads tegen het licht gehouden om zo een gebruiker beter te beschermen. De complete release notes voor deze versie staan hieronder:
