Windows Beta Update: Translate and content controls

Submitted by admin on Mon, 03/01/2010 - 23:54

 

The Windows Beta channel for Google Chrome has been updated to 4.1.249.1021. This update has some new features that we wanted you to be able to try before Chrome 5 is ready, so we created Chrome 4.1.

 

The new features are
  • Automatic translation of web pages
  • More content settings to let you control whether web sites can store cookies, load images, use plug-ins, run JavaScript or show pop-ups. You can find these new settings in under Options > Under the hood > Privacy.

 

The changes in Google Chrome 4.1 Beta are explained in more detail on the Google Chrome Blog.
