Google Chrome Leaving Beta
Google’s Chrome, the simple & fast web browser from Google is changing its status to non-beta version, this is a great news from Google, since Google has a knack of keeping its products in beta stage for a very long time (Gmail & recently Picasa), this news comes mostly as a surprise as Chrome is leaving its beta status in just 100 days. Chrome is just not another Web Application but it is a software product that has to compete very aggressively with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (the most dominant web browser), it has to be released in 1.0 version as early as possible, but what is surprising is that there is no news of much anticipated Mac or Linux versions.
I look forward to this non beta release and with great expectation let’s hope that this is ready for prime time.
How to Download it
You can get the non beta version of the browser directly from Google’s Chrome website, existing users of Chrome will get the update automatically.
Today we announced that with Google Chrome’s fifteenth release, we are taking off the “beta” label. We set goals around improving the stability and performance of the browser, and many of you have helped us meet these goals. We are grateful to the many people around the world who have contributed patches to Chromium (we had our first come from Korea after only five hours), the dedicated volunteers who have filed and triaged bugs in our issue tracker, the loyal users who braved the sometimes rocky dev channel releases, and everyone who took the simple step of opting-in to sending usage statistics and crash reports.
