Google heeft versie 27 van zijn webbrowser Chrome uitgebracht. Google Chrome is beschikbaar in drie verschillende uitvoeringen: stable, beta en dev, en ditmaal is de stabiele uitvoering bijgewerkt. Nieuw in versie 27 is de chrome.syncFileSystem-api, waarmee apps de mogelijkheid krijgen specifieke data op Google Drive op te slaan, zodat deze op verschillende clients en platforms beschikbaar zijn. Verder laden pagina's gemiddeld vijf procent sneller en zijn er verbeteringen aan de spellingscontrole en Omnibox aangebracht. Daarnaast zijn er natuurlijk weer de nodige beveiligingsupdates en bugfixes doorgevoerd. Het volledige changelog van deze release is hieronder te vinden.
