Please see the Chrome Security Page for more information. Below, we highlight fixes that were contributed by external researchers. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed. ![]() Note: Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. The Extended Stable channel has been updated to 1.129 for Mac and 1.130 for Windows which will roll out over the coming days/weeks. A full list of changes in this build is available in the null log. For now, though, the Chrome OS is an interesting concept idea that is at best before its time.The Stable channel has been updated to 1.129 for Mac,Linux and 1.129/130 to Windows which will roll out over the coming days/weeks. It's entirely possible this will change in the next week if Google pushes out updates to offline support. Without that tether to the Internet, and without offline support, the Chromebook is essentially a less-media friendly, less-touch friendly version of a tablet. Wi-Fi and 3G connections are simply not prevalent enough at the moment to support constant connections from a smartphone, let alone a low-powered laptop. The promised offline support for Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs hasn't materialized at the time of writing, a mere week before the public launch of the Chromebooks. If you don't have an Internet connection, you're in trouble. Yet the Chrome OS's strength in cloud-based flexibility is also its great weakness. When the Chrome OS launched, Chrome the browser was on version 8. We also noticed that boot times improved, and of course browser speeds. That means that older Chromebooks will still get better over time, despite their age. It's no mean feat that a company can improve performance simply by improving the software, and yet that appears to be what Google has accomplished. There's a decent local file browser, for one thing, and the latest version of Chrome performs much better on the anemic Cr-48 hardware than the original version of Chrome OS did. Google has made some nifty improvements, all available on the Cr-48 because they're all enhancements to the operating system. While only CNET's New York office received a review model early, the operating system constantly updates and so the San Francisco-based team was able to examine the latest version of Chrome OS on the original Chrome OS laptop, the Cr-48.īasically, Chrome OS is a low-to-mid powered operating system that has the potential for mass appeal, much more so than what we saw back in December 2010 when the Cr-48 launched.

It's fast, geared for an Internet tether yet able function on its own, and it's a bold step into the future of how operating systems work. If you like living your digital life in the browser, then the Chrome OS (review) could be a clanging clarion siren that's hard to resist. ![]()
