Google has just released the latest stable version of its browser, Chrome 17 for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame. Chrome 17 now carries version 17.0.963.46.
In Chrome 17, Google introduced two notable features. One is an updated Omnibox Prerendering (for faster browsing).
When you start typing in the omnibox and the URL autocompletes to a site you’re very likely to visit, Chrome will prerender the page, so it will appear faster–sometimes, even instantly–as soon as you hit Enter.
Another one is the Download Scanning Protection (for safer downloading).
In addition to checking a list of known bad files, Chrome also does checks on executable files (like “.exe” and “.msi” files). If the executable doesn’t match a whitelist, Chrome checks with Google for more information, such as whether the website you’re accessing hosts a high number of malicious downloads.
Others improvements include new extension APIs and many bugs fixes.
Google Chrome 17 Stable is compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP, Mac and Linux operating systems.
