I ended up switching back to Opera for the time being because Chrome had a nasty problem of freezing up for a few seconds when it was loading flash apps. It has, without a doubt, the cleanest interface for a web browser that I’ve seen (at least since the days when I could customize the Mozilla suite to my liking), and the ability to run websites as an “application” with an even tidier interface is a novel approach. I used Chrome almost exclusively for a month. Google Chrome 1.0 for Windows is available, versions for Linux and Mac OS X are in development. They also delivered better bookmark management tools, as well as improved import/export tools. Plug-in performance has been improved greatly, in addition to regular speed improvements.

The company also explains that the beta period helped in fixing and improving specific areas of the browser. If you are already using Google Chrome, the update system ensures that you get the latest bug fixes and security patches, so you will get the newest version automatically in the next few days.

We are also developing an extensions platform along with support for Mac and Linux. We are working to add some common browser features such as form autofill and RSS support in the near future. We have removed the beta label as our goals for stability and performance have been met but our work is far from done. Chrome may have reached version 1.0, but a lot of vital functionality is still missing. In the blog announcement, Google explains that the road doesn’t end here. Now that the beta label has been ripped off Chrome, Google can’t hide itself anymore: Chrome will now have to take Firefox and Internet Explorer head-on. When Chrome made its first public appearance earlier this year, it was met with positive reveiws due to its JavaScript performance, as well as its robust multithreaded model. After just 100 days, Google has lifted the veil of betaness off its web browser, Chrome, by releasing version 1.0.
