Google has released a new developer-orientated version of Chrome that brings better bookmark-management to the web browser.
Users could import bookmarks to the earlier versions of the browser, but version 0.4.154.18 adds a bookmark manager. "You can search bookmarks, create folders, and drag and drop bookmarks to new locations," said Chrome programme manager Mark Larson in an email announcement.
Only those who've subscribed to the Chrome developer channel will get the new version.
Another change has been made to the browser's pop-up blocker. Previously, it "just minimised pop-up windows to the lower-right corner of the browser window", with a window for each pop-up. Now there's a notification number and a menu to open a specific pop-up window if desired.
A "moderate" security issue is also fixed in which "downloaded HTML files [could] read other files on your computer and send them to sites on the internet", Google said.
The release notes contain further details about disabling spell-check, improving Japanese input and other matters.
