California, Jun 8: The Web-search giant Google has announced the update
for its popular web browser Google Chrome. The new new stable release of
Chrome 12 brings new exciting features and security options.
The notable security feature available on Google Chrome 12 is the Safe Browsing option, which screens downloaded files for known malware in addition to warning against potentially malicious or phishing websites.
Google Chrome developers claimed that they have carefully designed Safe Browsing feature so that malicious content can be detected without Chrome or Google ever having to know about the URLs the users visit or the files they download.
Chrome 12 also gives more control over the data that websites store on user's computer. This includes Flash Player’s Local Shared Objects (LSOs), which were previously only manageable using an online settings application on Adobe’s website.
The latest release includes support for hardware-accelerated 3D CSS, which means users will get a snazzier experience in some web pages and web apps that choose to implement 3D effects.
