Chrome loses beta label

When Google launched the browser, Chrome there was a great deal of interest, yet now things have settled down they have a market share of just one per cent, most users would have thought that this would have been larger but there it is.

However, this may begin to change with the beta tag being removed and the browser begin marketed as the full version which is ready to rock and roll the world of surfing for many people.

This has been a fast track out of beta for Google, for a lot of the time their products remain in the beta mode for years; one example of this is Gmail.

For users and Google removing the beta stage makes sense because businesses will very rarely go for something that is in the beta testing stage, but now could Chrome turn to gold for Google.
