 | In an update to the development build of Chrome, Google on Thursday introduced a rough version of the native HTML5 geolocation API. Availbe in Windows, Mac, and Linux. Firefox has been supporting this since it has came out FireFox 3.5 |  This option is turned off by default. To activate it you need to Chrome shortcut and add --enable-geolocation to the end of the target line, under the Shortcut tab. To test if it's working, you can go to http://www.browsergeolocation.com. If the browser asks for you to approve sending your location data, you know it's working. The Dev has been given some updates but is for the Mac and Linux versions. Along with the geolocation support, users on those platforms should see improved plug-in stability and better implementation of autofill preferences. Mac users only should see favicons in the history menu, and HTML5 databases have been added to the cookie manager. The full list of changes can be read here. |
