Google Chrome update with compatibility for Mac OS X Lion

We’ve had our own personal issues with Google Chrome on OS X Lion. In fact, at times, Chrome was behaving so badly on the new Mac OS that I had more or less switched to Firefox. Well, finally, Google has updated Chrome promising better stability and compatibility with Lion.

In addition, Google has added support for Lion’s full screen mode. When enabled, each Chrome window takes up the whole screen (i.e. the menu bar is hidden) and its own desktop Space. Note that you can have different Chrome windows maximised or not in different spaces.

Google Chrome speet test

Google has been keeping very busy with updating its Chrome web browser and has today announced a new stable version 10–it’s been only a month since Google launched version 9 of Chrome and just three weeks since the latest beta release. The latest version, 10, of Chrome brings faster JavaScript performance making more complex websites faster.

You can see a demonstration video of the new settings page by clicking below.
