New Google Chrome Beta Available for Download
Mar 19, 2009 Chrome
Google has made a new version of its open-source browser available for download, reintroducing the Beta label. Chrome 1.0 itself debuted into Beta in September 2008, and was released to web in December of the past year. Subsequently, the Mountain-view search giant moved onward with the development of Chrome 2.0, and with the latest release started to address a larger audience than developers, opening up the testing milestone to the general public.
“Since we took the “beta” tag off Google Chrome in December, we’ve been updating two release channels: developer and stable. With our latest release, we’re re-introducing the beta channel for some early feedback,” revealed Brian Rakowski, Google Chrome product manager.
