Google’s Chrome Web Browser was released earlier this month and Chrome’s first update s now available. For users who want to try out the latest versions of the Google Chrome can install the Google Chrome Channel Chooser software from Google’s Chrome Dev Channel site. The switcher lets people choose whether they want Dev which gets the latest cutting-edge Chrome builds or the Beta which gets less frequent but more stable versions. note: switching from Dev to Beta lets you stay on your current Chrome version until the Beta channel gets a later update. Changing channels does not change the version of Chrome you are currently using.

“Google Chrome now provides a way for people to get early-access releases automatically: the Dev channel,” said Chrome Program Manager Mark Larson in a Chrome mailing list posting late Monday night. “The Dev channel lets you test the latest fixes and get access to new features as they’re being developed. We will release new builds to the Dev channel about every week so that you can preview–and provide feedback on–what’s coming in Google Chrome.”

Build 1251 is geared for programmers and willing guinea pigs than merely curious users of Chrome. This update comes with bug fixes, you can check out their release notes for full details of the update.

How to update:

After installing and running Google Chrome Channel Chooser software, users can find out if updates are availble by clicking wrench icon in the upper-right corner of the Chrome screen, then selecting “About Google Chrome.” If a new version is available, users can update there, then restart to enable the changes.

So far we are getting good reviews about the Google’s Web Browser Chrome. Google has been quietly updating security fixes, however, Google isn’t revealing details yet about what security issues it’s fixed, they say that they are keeping quiet because they don’t want to disclose security vulnerabilities to attackers. Good point.
