Google has patched the latest versions ofChrometo make the browser work better
with Microsoft's Hotmail and Yahoo Mail.
Mark Larson, Google Chrome program manager, said in a
blog posting that both webmail services were now working with
Chrome.
He described the Hotmail fix as a "workaround" while the Hotmail
team at Microsoft works on a "proper fix".
This is the second attempt at resolving compatibilty issues
between Chrome and Hotmail.
Google released the first fix for this problem in December, when
the company said it was
preparing to take Chrome out of beta in January.
The latest beta and stable versions of Chrome also include two
security updates.
One is a workaround for the Adobe Reader cross-site scripting
vulnerability that could allow a PDF document to run scripts on
arbitrary sites.
The other update deals with a bug in the V8 JavaScript engine
that could disclose sensitive information from one website to a
third party.
Google will have to overcome all the security vulnerabilities
and compatibility difficulties if it is to make any real impact on
the
browser market.
