Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Google Chrome is a popular closed-source browser built on the Blink layout engine, created by Google.
The latest version available is Google Chrome 37, which has been recently released. Among others, a crash that happened when a user clicked on Advanced link in Blocking CERT_VALID Interstitial page has been fixed, the pages are now scaled down from 125% back to 100%, reloading a tab that has crashed in background has been now repaired, the debug_daemon_log_source has been fixed, the DBus timeout in cryptohome calls has been increased to 2 minutes, some OEM menu issues have been enhanced and other small fixes have been implemented.
As a reminder, the Java support on the Linux platform has been discontinued.
