Google Introduces New Chrome Beta
Most of the Chrome users are already pretty happy with its speed. Now, it is time to get even happier. Google has released a spanking new Beta for its web browser, which is reportedly a lot speedier than its predecessor.
Google has been updating two release channels since December 2008; Stable and Developer. This beta has been checked for its speed on Google’s V8 Benchmark Suite and SunSpider Benchmark. V8 showed that the new Beta was 25% faster than the current Stable version, and SunSpider showed that it was 35% speedier than the current Stable channel version. Also, the new Beta was more or less twice as faster as the original beta version on both the Benchmarks.
In this fresh beta version, some new and exciting features have been added by Google. It can save one’s time and effort by auto filling the user’s forms, give a better and closer view of text as well as images by zooming in and out the entire page, make scrolling easier for the user by enabling auto scroll feature, and drag the tabs out so that one can have a side by side view of multiple windows at a time.
Google claims that by switching to this new beta version of Chrome, automatic updates will be enabled, and the browser will get constantly updates with every fresh feature. Google Chrome Blog states, “We’re doing our best to quickly churn out new features as they are available rather than saving them up for occasional major releases.” Thus users will not have to wait for every little update till the next big release.
Chrome demands feedback from the users by testing new beta version on their computers, so that the shortcomings can be taken care of.
