Google Chrome is now STABLE! Release 1.0.154.36

Google Chrome is now officially out of Beta

After 100 days of development and performance tuning Google Chrome can now leave the BETA tag and become official release.

All the user will get automatic updated to the latest release over the next few days, or download it here.

 

Note to Dev channel users: The Dev channel release will stay at 0.4.154.33. The current stable release is the same as the current Dev channel release without the Hotmail fix (which hasn't been tested enough to release to all users). An update is coming next week.
