Google has announced a stable release of Chrome 10.0.684.127, which has a number of new features.
According to The Inquirer, Chrome 10 includes a new version of the open source Java engine V8, codenamed Crankshaft. Google says that this version significantly improves javascript performance.
Settings pages now open in a tab instead of a dialogue box. Password sync is enabled by default. GPU accelerated video, background Webapps and the Webnavigation extension API are also included.
As Chrome gets more popularity security is becoming a growing concern for Google so this version automatically disables outdated plugins and features improved malware reporting.
Google highlighted its dedication to addressing security issues by providing a list of Chrome bugs that were reported by users. These ranged from low to high severity and the reporters were awarded prizes ranging up to $2,000 for the most critical.
The new release of Chrome works with Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame.
