Software Update: Google Chrome 30.0.1599.101

Google released an update to version 30 of its Chrome web browser, but it turned out to be causing quite a few problems for many users. This update should change that. Version 30 has made it easier to search for images and several new extensions and apps have been added. Version 30.0.1599.101 also fixes several security vulnerabilities.
