Software-update: Google Chrome 21.0.1180.75

Google heeft de eerste update voor versie 21 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 21 is dat de browser nu zonder plug-ins toegang heeft tot de microfoon en webcam, uiteraard alleen na toestemming van de gebruiker. Verder is er verbeterde ondersteuning voor Google Cloud Print, gamepads en de Retina-schermen op de Mac. Deze update brengt verder de volgende verbeteringen:
