Google rolls out Chrome Instant to all!

Google’s Chrome web browser has been updated to stable version 9 for Mac, Windows and Linux, fixing important bugs and adding support for Chrome Instant search features, WebGL 3D graphics and the Chrome Web Store.

Chrome Instant brings Google Instant online search technology, which immediately shows search results as you type, to the streamlined browser. WebGL is a visual standard that empowers website developers to provide hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, letting you enjoy richer, more visually compelling Internet surfing. Via online shopping service theChrome Web Store, Internet users can further sample and buy browser apps, including popular software programs like MOG Music (streaming audio) and Rdio (social music sharing) right from their desktop.

Users looking to make the switch from Firefox or Internet Explorer, or upgrade their current Chrome build, can find release notes available here.
