Just a few weeks after the one year birthday of Google Chrome (which has become my personal browser of choice over the past few months), Google has released a new update to Chrome which the company says sports faster performance and processing.
The new Stable release of Chrome, which Google has been testing in a recent Chrome beta release, includes “a 150% increase in Javascript performance since our very first beta, a freshly redesigned New Tab page, an improved Omnibox, Themes capability, as well as HTML5 features.”
The New Tab Page complete with quick links to recently closed properties :
And here’s some info on the changes to the Omnibox, from the Google Blog :
We’ve also improved one of the most used and loved features of Google Chrome, the Omnibox. Because it’s a search bar as well as the web address bar, the multi-talented Omnibox helps you get to the sites you’re looking for with just a few keystrokes. With this release, we’ve optimized the presentation of the drop-down menu and added little icons to help you distinguish between suggested sites, searches, bookmarks, and sites from your browsing history.
Have you noticed the changes to Chrome? What is your opinion on the browser and its performance?
I’m still waiting for Linux version.
Anybody know anything?
It doesn’t appear much different to me. I agree with you, Chrome is my browser of choice. I have two issues: it’s not yet available for Mac and there aren’t enough customized API’s for it.
Since Google Chrome can play the HTML5 mobile video section on OGGTV, the next step would place it as a new multimedia app for all OGG-video sites on portable devices. The IPTV usage from this browser, can boost it as the main-portal, people use to watch TV on 3G/4G Netbooks/other devices.
The change in the video player, resulted in a faster video start-up, and higher performance.
