Google Chrome 6.0 Final is Out Now

Google Chrome 6.0.472.53 has been released to the 1st stable channels for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The previous beta release was Chrome 6.0.472.51, so the changes are minimal. There is however a big number of security fixes which have only now been revealed. Updates from the previous stable release include: Updated UI, Form Autofill, Syncing of extensions and Autofill data, Increased speed and stability.According to Brian Rakowski, Product Manager for Google Chrome, "Today, we’re releasing a new stable version of Chrome that is even faster and more streamlined. Chrome is now three times faster than it was two years ago on JavaScript performance. We’ve also been working on simplifying the 'chrome' of Chrome. As you can see, we took the already minimalist user interface and stripped it down a bit more to make it easier to use," he listed some of the improvements in the latest stable release.:


"We combined Chrome’s two menus into one, revisited the location of the buttons, cleaned up the treatment of the URL and the Omnibox, and adjusted the color scheme of the browser to be easier on the eyes," he added.

No new features have been added since, the team focused on bug fixes and a little more UI polish. Compared to Chorme 5.0, the previous stable release, there are plenty of changes. The first Chrome 6.0 beta was released less than a month ago. Work on Google Chrome 7.0 has started already and the first releases already available for download at the dev channel. Google intends to accelerate the development process and now plans to release a Chrome stable once every month and a half rather than once every three most like until now. We can hope the release of Google Chrome 7.0 stable very soon.
