The Google Chrome developers have released a new version this week with enhanced support for extensions and—dare we say it—a proper extensions menu item so you can access Chrome's extension manager with ease.

Windows and Linux versions received some minor tweaking. The updates to the Mac version include fixing a slew of keyboard commands and updating the way secure HTTP sites are displayed, to more clearly alert the viewer that the site has a bad security certificate.

The real news, however, is the placement of the extensions manager in the "wrench" menu, making it easier to find the extension manager and disable, uninstall, or reload extensions. (The Chrome Blog's changelog doesn't say this is specific to any particular OS, but I'm not seeing the change in OS X—only Windows.) Other small tweaks and enhancements were made to the extension system, so if you're curious you can read over the full changelog at the link below. If you're already using a dev channel release, you can simply go to About Google Chrome and click Check for Updates to update to the newest release.
