A security issue was reported on Google Chrome, which could be used for “cross-website scripting attacks”. No worries, Google has already has a new version of Chrome which fixes this issue. Here is another happy news, you don’t need to update chrome, Google Chrome will automatically update to the new version, you just need to restart it to take effect.
Here is more on the security issue.
In a blog posting, Mark Larson, Google Chrome program manager, wrote:
“An error in handling URLs with a chromehtml: protocol could allow an attacker to run scripts of his choosing on any page or enumerate files on the local disk under certain conditions.”
“If a user has Google Chrome installed, visiting an attacker-controlled web page in Internet Explorer could have caused Google Chrome to launch, open multiple tabs, and load scripts that run after navigating to a URL of the attacker’s choice. Such an attack only works if Chrome is not already running.”
Now, just double check to make sure that your Google Chrome installation is up to date, and feel safe ! If you do not know how to check if Google Chrome version is up to date, here is ChromeStory’s post on this. Questions ? Drop me a comment !!
I am thinking that Google has a very well written plan for the development of Google Chrome, and they really expect something bigger from it, I would think. See this news now. Google added 3D API to google chrome.
3D capability for browsers will take online gaming to the next level. You will see even more interactive and interesting games online. Not just games, we can not even predict how web will evolve with 3D support. Hope our cutiee Chrome leads the 3D web browsing era ! Good luck Chrome !! Here is the demo video
Now, here is the whole deal, from Google Chrome Blog
This API allows for the development of sophisticated 3D applications that rival experiences one would expect in native applications. Technology like this will eventually make launching high quality games as easy as clicking a link in your browser.
Google released a new beta for Google Chrome. They have added the beta channel back, for some feedback, Â since the new release has some important features added to it.
The best thing about this new beta is speed — it’s 25% faster on our V8 benchmark and 35% faster on the Sunspider benchmark than the current stable channel version and almost twice as fast when compared to our original beta version.
Some of the new features you can try out include form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll(both thanks to a new version of WebKit), and a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view.
Do you want to try this new version ? I will tell you how to change to beta channel : here
