Google is excited to introduce a new stable release of Google Chrome for Windows, which includes two of the browser's most recurrently requested features: extensions and bookmark sync.
Extensions permit you to add new features and functions to your browser. Some provide one-click access to some of your favorite web applications like eBay and digg, or news and information sources such as NPR and Time.com. Others are useful tweaks for performing common online tasks such as browsing photos, getting instructions or shopping.
Google previously launched extensions on the beta channel, and many latest extensions have since been contributed by developers from all over the world. Now you can browse over 1,500 in google extensions gallery and install them on the stable version of Google Chrome.
Bookmark sync is a handy attribute for those of you who use several computers — say, a laptop at work and a desktop at home. You can enable bookmark sync to synchronize your bookmarks on all of your computers so that when you generate a bookmark on one computer, it's mechanically added across all your computers. This means that you won't need to manually reconstruct the bookmark each time you switch computers.
You can read more about stable release — including performance improvements — on the Google Chrome Blog. Or if you want a look under the hood at what this update means for web developers (including new HTML and Javascript APIs), check out the Chromium blog.
To those using Google Chrome on Linux, extensions are enabled on the beta channel. And for those using Google Chrome for Mac, hang tight — Google is working on bringing extensions, bookmark sync and more to the beta soon. Those currently using the stable version for Windows will be automatically updated within the next week (or you can check for updates manually).
If you're on a PC and haven't tried Google Chrome yet, you can download Google Chrome and give all these latest features a whirl.
