"Jeder Nutzer erhält das Update automatisch im Laufe der nächsten Tage", erklärt der zuständige Manager Mark Larson. Über den Eintrag "Info zu Google Chrome" im Einstellungsmenu könne der Browser jederzeit auch manuell aktualisiert werden.

Chrome 03.3.154.9 behebt auch eine Sicherheitslücke, die die Manipulation einer URL in Pop-up-Fenstern ermöglicht. "Durch diesen Fehler können Anwender über die wahre Herkunft einer Website getäuscht werden, um ihnen persönliche Daten zu entlocken", so Larsen. Zudem lädt der Browser ausführbare Dateien nur noch nach einer Rückbestätigung durch den Anwender aus dem Internet herunter. "Nicht bestätigte Downloads werden automatisch gelöscht, wenn der Nutzer Chrome beendet."

Auch die dritte Beta von Chrome läuft nur unter Windows XP und Windows Vista. Google arbeitet nach eigenen Angaben weiterhin an Versionen für Linux und Mac OS X.

The second paragraph says :

"Each user receives the update automatically over the next few days," explains the competent manager Mark Larson. On the "About Google Chrome" in the browser Preferences can always manually updated.

Chrome 03.3.154.9 also fixes a vulnerability, the manipulation of a URL in pop-up windows allows. "This flaw allows users about the true origin of a site be misled in order to elicit personal data," said Larsen. Moreover, the browser loads executable files only after a confirmation by the user from the Internet. "Not confirmed downloads are automatically deleted when users Chrome finished."

The third beta of Chrome only runs under Windows XP and Windows Vista. Google operates according to its own data,therefore,developments are going under to provide a future versions for Linux and Mac OS X.

LOL,I don't know why I kinda feel they confirm it on every announcement they make but still they don't want to admit it ! Just take a look at their words man,heh.... the exact part that pisses me off is :

"This flaw allows users about the true origin of a site be misled in order to elicit personal data" Google Brags....

Aurion answers.... "WTF ! Why in the Black mom's stinky p**sy you keep that hole already ?!"

Dev Release: 0.4.154.18
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 | 15:21
Labels: Dev updates

Google Chrome 0.4.154.18 has been released to the Dev channel ONLY. This release introduces a couple of new features (and, as always, fixes a few bugs).

About the Dev Channel
The Dev channel lets you test the latest fixes and get access to new features as they're being developed. You can learn more about the Dev channel and how to subscribe here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel/

Reminder: please file (or update existing) issues at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues

New Features

• Bookmark manager with import/export.
  Use the 'Customize and control Google Chrome' (wrench) menu to open the Bookmark manager. You can search bookmarks, create folders, and drag and drop bookmarks to new locations. The Bookmark Manager's Tools menu lets you export or import bookmarks.
  
  
• Privacy section in Options.
  We grouped together all of the configuration options for features that might send data to another service. Open the wrench menu, click Options, and select the Under the Hood tab.
  
  
• New blocked pop-up notification.
  The pop-up blocker formerly just minimized pop-up windows to the lower right corner of the browser window, create one 'constrained' window for each pop-up. Now, Google Chrome displays one small notification in the corner that shows the number of blocked pop-ups. A menu on the notification lets you open a specific pop-up, if needed.

Known Issues

• Sites that use Gears to synchronize offline data may occasionally hang. You should disable offline access for sites until a fix is released. (We're working on it and hope to have the update later this week.)

Security Issues

• This release fixes an issue with downloaded HTML files being able to read other files on your computer and send them to sites on the Internet. We now prevent local files from connectin to the network with XMLHttpRequest() and also prompt you to confirm a download if it is an HTML file.
  Severity: Moderate. If a user could be enticed to open a downloaded HTML file, this flaw could be exploited to send arbitrary files to an attacker.

For more details on what's changed and what issues are fixed, see the detailed release notes at http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel/release-notes

@Aurion: I'm sure it's because they didn't know about the bug until it was found

@Ellesime: I'm keeping my current browser (Opera) too, although I've been having problems with my session at SB-I (it logs out every 2 minutes even after ticking "remember me") with the latest version. I could confirm this issue with another user so I hope the Opera team fixes it soon... In the meantime I have been using FF3 to browse the board at home (until my ISP disconnected me ). It worked perfectly

Hi vDD+wR!

but i hope you wont switch over completely remember the good time you had/ will have with opera

Heh, of course not. I couldn't drop Opera even if I wanted But dual-wielding browsers is cool (partly because my PC can take the resource usage hit ), and there's a lot about Firefox I don't know (tips, tweaks, good addons), so it's a good opportunity to learn something new.

Also, if FF lets me browse SB-I at all while Opera can't at the moment, that's a big advantage.

Good boy! But is this an Opera-related problem or does this something have to do with the SB-I board confiuration?

News Update

Google may pre-install Chrome browser

Google is investigating deals with major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to get its Chrome browser preinstalled on new computers.

It's definitely an Opera-related problem, or else I wouldn't have it when using Firefox

Regarding Google preinstalling Chrome on new computers... I think they want to get the market share IE achieved doing the same, but it's a bit too late

An official beta release is out:

Beta release: 0.4.154.29
Monday, December 1, 2008 | 13:31
Labels: Beta updates

Google Chrome 0.4.154.29 has been released and all users will get automatically updated over the next 48 hours.

This release upgrades Gears to 0.5.4.2 to address a security issue with Gears 0.5.4.0 and earlier versions:

• Gears Cross-Origin Worker Vulnerability
  CVE: CVE-2008-5258
  A vulnerability in Gears could allow an attacker to run code in the context of a site that serves user-controlled files. To exploit this, an attacker needs to upload a malicious file to the victim's site and convince the user to allow the attacker's site to use Gears.
  
  Severity: High. Even though this requires convincing users to allow a third-party site to use Gears, it could allow data theft and cross-site scripting on sites hosting user-created content, even those that do not use Gears.
  Credit: Thanks to Yair Amit, Senior Security Researcher, IBM Rational Application Security Research Team for responsibly reporting the issue to Google.

This release also contains a fix to stop crashes while dragging tabs on computers running Windows Vista.

This is the latest dev release:

While other products are in beta for years, Google has turned Chrome into a final product in months. What does it have up its sleeve?

Just three months after the release of Chrome, Google is following through on its vow to remove the "beta" label from its upstart browser -- making it a rare final product from a company notorious for its seemingly endless beta cycles.

Since its inception, Chrome has served as a test bed for new browser technologies, such as security models, Web standards support and transfer protocols -- experiments that Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has said it hadn't wanted to attempt in connection with other, established open source efforts, like Mozilla Firefox. The company has issued 14 updates to its browser, almost at a rate of one per week since its release.

So, v1.0 is finally out! I guess it's time to change this thread's name, then

Will try it out soon. An Iron build should be available shortly, I think, to keep up with Chrome's popularity
