Download Google Chrome 3.0 Final

Google has finalized its latest stable release of Chrome, version 3.0, after no less than 51 developer milestones, a total of 21 Beta releases, 15 stable updates and 3,505 bugfixes in the last year alone. In just a little after the first year since the introduction of Google Chrome, the Mountain View-based search giant has gone through two major versions of its own breed of open-source browser. On September 15th, 2009, Google released the gold version of Chrome 3.0 to web. Google Chrome 3.0 had previously been in Beta development stage. Users of the open-source browser can forget about the two other stable versions of Chrome released in the past year, namely 2.0.172.43 and

1.0.154.65. Upgrades are now possible to Google Chrome 3.0.195.21, which is currently up for grabs, and you will find download links at the bottom of this article.

“Thanks to a full year of great feedback from our users, we're kicking off our second year of Google Chrome with a brand new stable release. This stable release incorporates many of the improvements and features that we tested out in our most recent beta release, including a 150% increase in Javascript performance since our very first beta, a freshly redesigned New Tab page, an improved Omnibox, Themes capability, as well as HTML5 features,” revealed Anthony Laforge, program manager.

Even before the release of version 3.0, it was clear that Google was betting big on JavaScript performance. In its vision of Cloud-based on-demand applications, Google needs to tailor Chrome to scenarios in which Cloud apps can produce an equivalent performance to desktop programs. The underlining V8 JavaScript engine is in this regard the key to having Cloud and client-side apps on par as far as performance goes.

“If you haven't tried Google Chrome recently, we invite you to give it a whirl. Many of the improvements in this release were inspired by the responses from users, so we're all ears if you have any feedback. If you're already using Google Chrome, you'll be automatically updated to this new version soon, but if you're itching to try this right away, download the latest version,” Laforge added.
