Google has released an updated Chrome 20, fixing certain critical issues faced with the previous version. Out of the total 23 security holes that Chrome 20 is said to have fixed, 14 are rated critical. These enabled the attackers to execute code in the Chrome's sandbox. Also, the issues in the code for processing PDF files and Matroska containers (.mkv) have also been addressed. The latest version of the browser features the latest Adobe's Flash Player on Linux through the new cross-platform Pepper API, it also works on 64-bit Linux systems. 
Along with the above mentioned features, a 'Chrome to Mobile' feature has also been incorporated in Chrome 20, which was previously available as an extension. Now, if your Google account is registered with the browser and also linked with an Android phone, you can forward the current Web page to your smartphone by just clicking on the mobile phone symbol present in the address bar. But this is possible only if your phone runs the beta version of 'Chrome for Android', which requires Android ICS or higher.
The new version automatically gets updated in the background. You can click on the wrench icon, then select 'About Google Chrome' and check whether the current version has been installed or not. One can head to the manual update this ways.
