Mountain View, Calif. - Google (NASD: GOOG) has removed the "beta" label from its new Chrome Web browser just 100 days after it was initially launched.

The company said that Chrome now counts more than 10 million active users.

Improvements made over the course of the 14 updates to Chrome include better stability and performance of plug-ins, particularly video; improved speed; a bookmark manager and privacy controls.

"We have removed the beta label as our goals for stability and performance have been met but our work is far from done," wrote Sundar Pichai, VP of product management and Linus Upson, engineering director, on Google's blog.

Google plans to add features including form autofill and RSS support in the near future, and will eventually launch an extensions platform, as well as support for Mac and Linux.
