Anyone accustomed to using Google’s Chrome browser, seeing Google search in their browser and having other Google tools handy in previous versions of Windows will notice their absence in Windows 8. Google noticed as well, and has instructions for bringing Chrome and Google search tools to the new O/S.
Google’s aptly-titled Get Your Google Back page provides users with a simple wizard-based process for returning the missing features.
Another new version of Google’s web browser was announced today. Version 23.0.1271.64 contains some new features, as well as several bug and security fixes. A new version of Adobe Flash for Chrome, containing several security fixes, is also included.
Google encourages security researchers to discover security vulnerabilities in its web browser, Chrome. The recently-concluded Pwnium 2 contest revealed one new vulnerability. A $60,000 prize was awarded to its discoverer, and within hours, a new version of Chrome (22.0.1229.94) that addresses the vulnerability was released.
There’s another new version of Google’s Chrome web browser. Version 22.0.1229.92 addresses several security holes and includes a new version of Flash. The full details are available in the update announcement.
Google’s been busily fixing security holes and adding interesting new features to its web browser.
The latest version of Chrome is 22.0.1229.79, and it includes fixes for at least forty-two vulnerabilities, as well as some enhancements specific to Windows 8, and a new ability for Javascript called ‘Pointer Lock‘.
Google recently announced that it will be dropping support for version 8 and earlier of Internet Explorer in Google Apps.
The change will occur shortly after the release of Internet Explorer 10, on November 15, 2012.
Internet Explorer 8 is the most recent version of the web browser that runs on Windows XP, so anyone who uses Internet Explorer on Windows XP to access Google Apps will need to switch to a different web browser, or upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 after November 15.
New versions of Google’s web browser were announced yesterday.
There are several, platform-specific versions of Chrome, and they are currently out of sync: 21.0.1180.81 for Linux, 21.0.1180.83 for Windows and 21.0.1180.82 for Mac.
The new versions address several security and bug fixes, including the print-preview-takes-forever problem in Windows XP.
Google really pushes out a lot of updates for Chrome, don’t they? The latest update takes the browser to version 21.0.1180.79. The only change is a security fix for Adobe Flash, with the modified code being provided by Adobe. New versions of the Flash plugin for browsers were also released by Adobe today.
