Software Update: Google Chrome 16.0.912.77

Google has released an update to version 16 of its Chrome web browser. Google Chrome is available in three different versions: stable, beta and dev. Development versions are at an early stage of development and are therefore the least stable. Sync has been improved in version 16, among other things. This makes it possible to have direct access to all favorites, apps, extensions, history and settings, regardless of which computer or platform you log in. In this update we only find some bug and security fixes.
