Google Chrome 44.0.2403.89

Google Chrome is de browser van Google die in 2008 geïntroduceerd is. Chrome behoort inmiddels met Internet Explorer tot de meestgebruikte desktop browsers en is ook op Android toestellen standaard aanwezig.

Google Chrome 44 is gisteren uitgebracht. De versie-sprong van 43 naar 44 brengt vooral stabiliteits- en prestatieverbeteringen onder de motorkap. Ook zijn diverse nieuwe API's voor apps en extensies toegevoegd aan Chrome. Ten slotte lost Chrome 44 maar liefst 43 beveiligingslekken op.

Google Chrome is beschikbaar voor Windows, Mac OS X en Linux. De browser wordt automatisch bijgewerkt naar de nieuwste versie, daar hoef je zelf niks voor te doen. Je kunt controleren welke versie je hebt onder het menu Over Google Chrome. Er zijn ook versies van Chrome voor iOS en Android.

Release notes:
A number of new apps/extension APIs
Lots of under the hood changes for stability and performance
