Developers and hardcore testers will be glad to know that Google has rolled out yet another update for its version on how a browser should look and perform. The update I am talking about is Chrome 3.0.195.1, which follows in the footsteps of Chrome 3.0.193.0 for Windows and Chrome 3.0.194.3 for Mac and Linux .

The one to announce the release is Engineering Program Manager with Google, Jonathan Conradt: “This week's [Chrome 3.0.195.1] update includes changes for Windows, Mac and Linux. More details about [significant] changes are available in the release notes and the log of all revisions . You can find out about getting on the Dev channel here . If you find new issues, please let us know by filing a bug [ here ].”

Chrome 3.0.195.1 for Windows highlights
- As the list of suggestions gets shorter, form suggestions shrink properly.
- Auto-update added to extensions.
- Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Thai default minimum font size set to 10.
- Chinese default minimum font size set to 12.

Chrome 3.0.195.1 for Mac highlights
- Added drag and drop support for URLs, plain txt, and HTML.
- Clearing all downloads caused a self crash problem; this issue has been resolved.
- Infobars are now up and running. These is the first cut and consequently Infobars are just functional, not good-looking.
- Added new JavaScript menu item. To access it click View -> Developer Menu.

Chrome 3.0.195.1 for Linux highlights
- You can now drag a link from the web contents to the bookmark bar and get a named bookmark.
- More hotkeys that we previously missing have been added: Ctrl +Enter, Shift + F5, Shift + Scroll Wheel
- Dockable developer tools.
- Added support for pasting text from a clipboard with no published targets.
- Implemented encoding menus.
- Resolved issue when the browser would occasionally crash at startup in gtk_chrome_button_expose.

UPDATE: Here's the reason why Google enabled auto-update for extensions.
