Google has released a new stable version of Chrome, v12.0.742.91, which makes several important enhancements. The browser will for instance now warn against downloading some malicious files, supposedly without Google or even Chrome knowing about associated URL or file history. The software also provides more control over data stored by websites, in particular Local Shared Objects used by Flash. These were previously only controllable via Adobe's website, but the company is said to have cooperated with Google on adding LSO deletion to Chrome.
