Google's feverish development pace continues, as it has released a beta version of Chrome 12, to the masses.
The company details four additions to the Chrome platform - notably support for hardware-accelerated 3D CSS, plus a host of improved privacy features.
Chrome's Safe Browsing feature now extends protection to warn users, before downloading potentially malicious files. Additionally, users can now delete Flash LSOs (Locally Shared Objects) from directly within Chrome's settings, which is said to give more control over online privacy.
Google adds that it has improved screen reader support to make Chrome even more accessible, but that Chrome 12 also hosts the removal of the Google Gears plug-in, as the it focuses on HTML5.
