Google Chrome Web Browser 2.0.166.1

Google is back with the new Version of Chrome, this time adding the missing and important full screen mode. Beyond that, Chrome now supports HTTP authentication over a keep-alive connection – something that Chrome’s release notes indicate are required for NTLM authentication.

Additionally malware reporting gets a boost in Chrome 2.0.166.1. The improved feature in Chrome will now report on more suspected malware instances. According to Google’s code entry:

Any malware resource that we detect on a page is reported if the page that contains it is not in the blacklist AND the user has opted in to reporting stats.

Looks like another solid week of progress for Chrome development. This is one project that sure seems to have be moving fast on Windows at least. There is still no Mac or Linux version publicly available for Google Chrome.

Got something to say? Go for it!
