Google Chrome 3 Released!
Google rolled out the latest version of Google Chrome few days ago. This release is still in the beta. The features in the new version are amazing.
- Rearrangable and Dockable Shortcut Icons – Previously the icons that you see when you open a new empty tab lists the last few websites you visited in the order of the frequency of visit. The new version allows you to re-arrange these icons as well as dock them.
- Themes - This version even features the long awaited themes feature. Google’s own theme gallery is visible as two shortcuts if you clear your entire history. Some of the themes are still unstable which makes them break in Vista sometimes.
- More Icons For Recent History – Previously only three links that you visited last were shown in a new empty tab in the bottom right corner of the screen. In the new version, two entire rows with 5 links in each are visible.
- Faster Java script Engine – Google claims that the new version has a 30% improvement in the speed of the V8 Javascript engine over the previous versions.
Apart from the theming system the browser is very stable. Click here to try it out.
Although this doesn’t look like a lot of changes in the number of features. The team behind Google Chrome must have made many changes to attain the 30% improvement in speed. This is yet another step in Google’s efforts to make the next big operating system which they announced a few weeks ago.
