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.
