A security issue was reported on Google Chrome, which could be used for “cross-website scripting attacks”. No worries, Google has already has a new version of Chrome which fixes this issue. Here is another happy news, you don’t need to update chrome, Google Chrome will automatically update to the new version, you just need to restart it to take effect.
Here is more on the security issue.
In a blog posting, Mark Larson, Google Chrome program manager, wrote:
“An error in handling URLs with a chromehtml: protocol could allow an attacker to run scripts of his choosing on any page or enumerate files on the local disk under certain conditions.”
“If a user has Google Chrome installed, visiting an attacker-controlled web page in Internet Explorer could have caused Google Chrome to launch, open multiple tabs, and load scripts that run after navigating to a URL of the attacker’s choice. Such an attack only works if Chrome is not already running.”
Now, just double check to make sure that your Google Chrome installation is up to date, and feel safe ! If you do not know how to check if Google Chrome version is up to date, here is ChromeStory’s post on this. Questions ? Drop me a comment !!
I am thinking that Google has a very well written plan for the development of Google Chrome, and they really expect something bigger from it, I would think. See this news now. Google added 3D API to google chrome.
3D capability for browsers will take online gaming to the next level. You will see even more interactive and interesting games online. Not just games, we can not even predict how web will evolve with 3D support. Hope our cutiee Chrome leads the 3D web browsing era ! Good luck Chrome !! Here is the demo video
Now, here is the whole deal, from Google Chrome Blog
This API allows for the development of sophisticated 3D applications that rival experiences one would expect in native applications. Technology like this will eventually make launching high quality games as easy as clicking a link in your browser.
es, finally we have that most wanted feature getting ready on development versions, and for those who are using the beta version, you all will get it very soon too. ( I want to know how to switch to Beta Version )
To make it simple, this is how the feature works : you get an “edit” link at the end of the page, where your most visited visited pages appear as thumbnails, and you can delete those unwanted stuff, restore them, or see the full history, and then edit from there.
To make it even more simple, I have two screenshots for you, from the development version of Google Chrome that I’m using.

If you were worried about your most visited “secrets” being revealed to others who open Google Chrome on your computer, this fix is for you, enjoy !!
- StatCounter says that Chrome topped 2% recently. Click through to see fewer people using Internet Explorer and more people using Firefox and Chrome over the weekends. StatCounter provides CSV export, so I made a separate chart for Chrome:
That makes me happy, for the love of Google Chrome. Why does it make me happy ? the upward trend in stats means more people joining the Chrome community !! Does this makes you happy as well ?
Google Chrome also has its own share on web’s April Fool Fun, and here is how they did it. Google Chrome with 3D. Click on the 3D button, and wear 3D lenses, and browse the web in 3D … funnny !! isn’t it ? Check our the 3D page, and see how it works ( ?? )
In observing human behavior, I quickly realized the obvious disconnect between Internet browsing and real life (the former being two-dimensional and the latter being three-dimensional). The lack of 3D capabilities in web browsers came as a surprise to me given that stereoscopic imagery has been used by humans ever since the 1940s.
