Google Chrome Gets Updates: New Interfaces, Faster Browsing !
Tuesday, Google announced a few changes to Chrome, its engineered-for-speed web browser.
The super-fast beta version that was announced a few weeks ago has already been updated to a stable version. For the Googlers working on Chrome, speed entails not only faster code (the latest version of Chrome boasts a 66% improvement in JavaScript performance) but also easier-to-navigate interfaces.
With that in mind, the company is rolling out a new Settings interface for all Chrome users. One major change is that Settings are now presented in a Chrome tab rather than a dialog box — a change that will seem familiar to those using Google’s Cr-48 notebooks, which run Chrome OS and present absolutely everything in a browser tab.
Settings are also searchable, which many users will likely find extremely helpful.
Here’s a brief demo video showing Chrome’s new Settings pages in action:
Google has also extended its sandboxing features to Chrome’s Flash player.
Interested parties can download the latest version of Chrome now; be sure to check back with us in the comments section to let us know what you think of the new browser.

Get Ready for Microsoft 13 updates for August Patch Tuesday
Microsoft has announced that it will release 13 bulletins to address 22 vulnerabilities in Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, .NET and Visual Studio on its next Patch Tuesday. Another "critical" bulletin affects Windows server operating systems, and addresses a code-execution risk on unpatched systems. Also of note is an update restricted to newer versions of Windows (Windows 7 and Windows 2008) that tackles a potential, though difficult to exploit, code-execution risk.
Scheduled for release next Tuesday 9th August. Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, commented that the update will have patches for end-users, server administrators, office users and software developers.
He said: “Top priority should be given to a critical bulletin that affects Internet Explorer 6 through 9 on Windows 7, XP, Vista, 2003 and 2008. If left unpatched, attackers could use this vulnerability to remotely take control of victims' systems.The second critical bulletin affects Windows server operating systems, and server administrators should apply patches immediately as this vulnerability also leads to remote code execution. The third remote code execution bulletin only affects the newest Windows 7 and Windows 2008 operating systems and could be a little difficult to exploit as compared to the other two.”Microsoft's pre-alert advisory can be found here.
