Google recently announced a new stable version of Chrome as they often do on their Chromium Releases Blog. But this time, they felt it necessary to extend their announcement and offer a little insight. In a post on the Chromium Blog they explain some new features of the now public Chrome 10:
- Flash sandboxing is now active and new versions of Flash will be automatically installed, increasing security protection
- While Google can’t force users to auto-install new versions of plugins, they WILL notify you when your plugins are out of date and encourage you to update. Another security win.
- Have a problem with a particular plugin? Trying to troubleshoot? Plug-in blocking will allow you to turn certain features of a plugin off and prevent them from running. Spammers and scammers just lost a step.
- Google has given away $100,000+ for developers fixing bugs… and they continue to offer rewards for those who assist and offer patches. They’re also hiring!
