A speedier, spiffier beta for Google Chrome



Since last major update of Google Chrome in May, they've been hard at

work improving some of its most used and loved features. Today, they're

releasing a new beta for you to try. Not only is it speedier than ever, but they've also given

the browser a little bit of design whimsy that we hope will bring some

color and delight to your day.



This new beta is fitted with a customizable New Tab page, an improved

Omnibox and a few basic themes that allow you to deck out your browser

with colors, patterns and images. Also built HTML5

capabilities into this release, as well as a few other nifty technical

improvements that will help Google Chrome make the most of your network

connection.

You can learn more on the Google Chrome Blog, or download the beta

version of Google Chrome to give these new features a whirl. Being on

the beta channel gives you a sneak preview of things to come with occasional rough

edges, but it's a great way for them to quickly churn out new features

and get your feedback.
