MC2 Post 1274 Chrome 19 Released with Patches and New feature -- Tab Syncing

===================================

And Yes, Google PAYS for Bug Finding:

Google has announced that Chrome 19 is the new stable version of its open source based web browser. As usual, the browser sees a number of security fixes: this time there are seven high-severity fixes specifically for Chrome including various use-after-free and out-of-bounds errors.

Two fixes with a wider impact than Chrome are also mentioned – a workaround for a Linux NVIDIA driver bug and an "off-by-one out-of-bounds" write in libxml. 

In all, $7500 was paid out in rewards to security researchers, and Google notes it has also paid out $9000 to researchers to stamp out bugs before they reached its stable channel.

===================================

           Chrome Also Testing  "Web Intents".

Google has also included an experimental version of Web Intents in the new stable version of Chrome. Web Intents are designed as a mechanism to allow web applications to work together without having explicit knowledge of the other web applications.
