The big news this week from the Mountain View-based search engine giant Google is that version 3.0 of its take on how a web browser should look and feel has moved on to the stable channel. Yes, Chrome 3.0 can now be downloaded and installed on your system as a final, stable piece of software. Previously Chrome 3.0 was only available on Google’s dev channel, but this week in graduated to Beta and then to Final.
