On Wednesday Google released the third Chrome beta Version 0.3.154.9.
Version 0.3.154.9 fixes a security issue that allowed address spoofing in pop-up windows.
"The window's address bar could be manipulated to show a different address than the actual
origin of the content," explains Mark Larson, Google Chrome program manager, in his blog
post.
Version 0.3.154.9 also enables laptop touchpad scrolling, improves plug-in and proxy
performance and reliability, fixes a PDF crash generated by closing a tab, and eliminates
the storage of data from secure sites.
The updated Chrome also has benefited from some housekeeping and interface changes. The menu
commands "New incognito window" and "New window" now always open new windows, privacy
protected and normal, respectively. The spell checker now works on text input fields and
allows users to add words to the spell check dictionary. And file downloading has been
changed to make it more secure.
Chrome is currently a distant fourth in terms of market share. According to Net
Applications, the global browser market-share breakdown, as of Oct. 30, is as follows:
