Almost two months after the release of Google Chrome 8 stable version, Google has announced the release of their latest stable version of Google Chrome 9 (v9.0.597.84) browser for Windows, Mac and Linux on February 3.
Updates from the previous stable release include features like WebGL, Chrome Instant (browser version of Google Instant) and the Chrome Web Store.
- WebGL brings hardware-accelerated 3D graphics to the Chrome browser. With WebGL in Chrome, you can experience rich 3D experiences right inside the browser with no need for additional software. Check out the demos on WebGL here.
- With Chrome Instant, web pages that you frequently visit will begin loading as soon as you start typing the URL. If supported by your default search engine, search results appear instantly as you type queries in the omnibox. To try out Instant, you’ll need to enable it in the Basics tab of Chrome’s options.
- Chrome Web Store is now open to all Chrome users in the United States. In this version, you should see a link to the Chrome Web Store on the New Tab page, along with two sample apps. If you don’t use the sample apps, they will automatically disappear after some time.
Google Chrome 9 is compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP, Mac and Linux.
