Google has updated Google Chrome 26.0.1410.43* to the Stable channel for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame platforms. Google Chrome 26 includes spell checking improvements with updated dictionaries and support for Korean, Tamil and Albanian. Additionally, you can sync custom dictionaries across devices now.

This version also fixes two high-risk security vulnerabilities and our medium-risk security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

*Google Chrome 26.0.1410.43 also available on the Beta channel

Overview
Google Chrome 26 also adds support for grammar, homonym and context-sensitive spell checking in English, powered by the same technologies used by Google search. Support for additional languages is on the way.

Furthermore, Google Chrome 26 version for Windows includes app launcher - a dedicated home for your apps which makes them easy to open outside the browser. This is the same experience as the app launcher on Chromebooks. You’ll need to install a Chrome packaged app in order to try out the Chrome app launcher. Chrome packaged apps deliver a native-like experience across multiple platforms with the security properties of a web page.
