Google’s Chrome team has had a busy week. First was the release of the Android-based Chrome browser and now they’ve updated their desktop version to make it better than before. Version 17 is now available in the stable channel and enables faster browsing by pre-rendering the most likely to visit web page.
As for security, Chrome now protects a user from downloading malicious files. The downloaded file including executable like *.exe and *.msi goes through a list of whitelist and if it doesn’t match, Chrome will check the host website to see if they circulate malicious files.
