The latest update to Google's Chrome browser brings the version number to 1.0.154.46, and with it a few noteworthy changes of interest to web-based mail users. Specifically, the latest release addresses an issue so that sending mail from Yahoo Mail works again. The new version also makes it so that Windows LIve Hotmail now works.
"While the Hotmail team works on a proper fix, we're deploying a workaround that changes the user agent string that Google Chrome sends when requesting URLs that end with mail.live.com," Google wrote on its Chrome blog.
The latest releases also addresses a pair of security vulnerabilities so that Google Chrome now refuses requests for javascript from the Adobe Reader plugin, and addresses a bug in the V8 JavaScript engine that could allow bypassing same-origin checks in certain situations, Google says.
That's all groovy and everything, but Google's Chrome browser still doesn't support extensions. But hey, it works with Hotmail. Woot?

Hell I would just like to install Google Chrome in Windows 7 64bit version. It says that it's an incompatible program when I try to install it and after installation it won't access the internet at all.

Much of the free content on the Internet exists only because of ads, bandwidth isn't free. Ad revenue is quite often generated through impressions, so even though you refuse to click you're still causing a loss of revenue.
