Google Announces Chrome 46

Based on open-source Chromium 46 web browser, Google Chrome 46 (the actual version number is 46.0.2490.71) comes as a free update for Windows, Mac, and Linux users and includes several security fixes, as well as various under-the-hood improvements.

Unfortunately, Google didn’t publish any details about the new features implemented in Google Chrome 46, so we can only assume that it’s mainly a bugfix release that patches 24 security issues that have been discovered by various developers.

“The Chrome team is delighted to announce the promotion of Chrome 46 to the stable channel for Windows, Mac and Linux,” says Tina Zhou on behalf of the Google Chrome team and added, “Chrome 46.0.2490.71 contains a number of fixes and improvements — a list of changes is available in the log.”
