Google announced today on their blog that Google Chrome is out of beta:
Since we first released Google Chrome, the development team has been hard at work improving the stability and overall performance of the browser. In just 100 days, we have reached more than 10 million active users around the world (on all seven continents, no less) and released 14 updates to the product. We're excited to announce that with today's fifteenth release we are taking off the "beta" label!
I must admit I wasn't expecting this, given that (at least to me) Google Chrome is still far away from a full featured browser. Indeed the About box of Chrome now says version 1.0.154, but I don't really see what's new beside more stability since their first release. Rumors say that Google rushed into doing so because OEM (hardware vendors) wanted to include Chrome with their systems but couldn't because of the beta label. This get credible if you think that Gmail, a service started many years ago and that has incorporated dozens of features, is still in beta.
Anyway, I would be happy if they would finally integrate an extensions engine where users could create 3rd party plugins, just like they mention here. Because that would be a step closer for a Roboform toolbar.
