Download Google Chrome 26.0.1410.43

Google has released version 26 of its Chrome web browser. Google Chrome is available in three different versions: stable, beta and dev, and this time the stable version has been updated. New in version 26 is, among other things, that if the browser is used by different people under the same account, it is still possible for everyone to have their own favourites. In addition, spell checking has been improved and Linux and OS X users can now use an asynchronous DNS resolver. In addition, there are of course the necessary security updates and bug fixes. The full changelog for this release can be found below.
