Google\u2019s Chrome browser has been updated to version 100, almost 14 years after it introduced the world to its clean design and all-encompassing \u201comnibox\u201d in 2008. For most of its history, the search giant\u2019s browser has gained a new version number roughly every six weeks, but last year the company switched to a four-week cycle to deliver new features more quickly. Google says the version 100 update is rolling out on stable channels now across Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.<\/p>\n
In my part of the world, turning 100 gets you a telegram from the Queen, but Chrome\u2019s first triple-digit version has arrived with less in the way of fanfare, and more \u201cfixes and improvements.\u201d The biggest change is the arrival of a refreshed logo. The new design removes some of the shadowing detail from the 2014-era logo, which makes for a flatter look that\u2019s more in line with the app icons for Google\u2019s other services.<\/p>\n
Other changes coming with version 100 of Chrome include the removal of \u201clite mode\u201d in the browser\u2019s Android app, which was previously designed to use less mobile data and load web pages faster. But as Chrome support manager Craig Tumblison explained in a post last month, the feature has become less necessary as mobile data costs have decreased, and Chrome has generally become more data efficient. <\/p>\n There have been fears that the transition to version 100 could cause issues for any websites that are only designed to recognize browsers with two-digit version numbers. But given Google has been warning about the transition for months, it\u2019s likely that any major bugs will already have been spotted and ironed out. If that\u2019s not the case, however, Google has said it\u2019s able to freeze its browser\u2019s version number at 99 while these issues are addressed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Google\u2019s Chrome browser has been updated to version 100, almost 14 years after it introduced…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796.jpg",1200,628,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796-300x157.jpg",300,157,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796-768x402.jpg",640,335,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796-1024x536.jpg",640,335,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796.jpg",1200,628,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796.jpg",1200,628,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796-1024x536.jpg",1024,536,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/1653\/91628e464279796-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"Tech<\/a>","tag_info":"Tech","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Chrome\u2019s Android lite mode disappears with this version<\/q><\/p>\n
