Google Chrome 12 is now the stable release of Google’s web browser and there are a few improvements relating to security, privacy and graphics capabilities.
Chrome now checks downloaded files for malware, and Google even claims that the feature is designed in such a way that it doesn’t have to know which URLs you visited or which files you downloaded to be able to detect malicious files.
You can now also fine tune the data that websites store on your computer, including Flash Player’s Local Shared Objects (also known as Flash cookies), directly from Chrome.
Chrome 12 includes support for hardware-accelerated 3D CSS, which enables such effects as rotating and scaling videos, and there are several minor improvements such as searching for Chrome Apps directly from the address bar.
