Google has released Chrome 15 Stable for all supported platforms, including Mac OS X. The search giant has worked up a nifty little demo using the Mac platform and posted it on their blog for everyone to see what’s new in the latest stable version of the popular web browser.

According to Shannon Guymon, Product Manager, Chrome’s major focus recently has been “to allow apps to do more, faster.”

“Today, changes in Chrome make it even easier to access your favorite apps and discover new favorites,” says Guymon.

In a video demonstration ran on a Mac with OS X 10.7 Lion installed (embedded above), Google engineers show how to use the New Tab page. Everything is just a click away, whether it’s downloading new apps, organizing the icons, deleting a title, or getting additional info about an app.

The redesigned Web Store is also more appealing, and includes new functionality, such as the ability to post reviews, just like on Apple’s App Stores.
