Google Chrome Playing Tricks with Beta

They took beta tag off from Google Chrome last december.
Now this time they have start distributing their own Google chrome in two versions
1. Stable Chrome.
2. Developer Chrome.

They are re-introducing beta channel for early feedback.
Check the graphs which they published as the comparison between their own products.




These graphs clearly shows that this beta version is 25 % more faster then their earlier versions.
Some of the new features you can try out include form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll and a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view.

Chrome out of "beta"

surprise surprise... google have done something that is never expected of them... they have taken one of their products out of its "beta" status within 3 months of its launch... yes... google chrome beta is no longer a beta... its just google chrome... this is a very surprising development especially since google is known for betas that last years rather than months... now i am just waiting for the day when the old gmail will lose the beta tag that it has been carrying along for over 4 years now!

Microsoft and Google now share more than colors

miWe all know only too well the Windows logo, that ubiquitous four-color flapping flag, which conveniently marks the Start Menu. In case you have not seen the trees because of the forest so far, the colors in question are red, green, blue and yellow. Coincidently, the same colors have been planted in Google's logo - the search engine - as well. However, there would be nothing too strange about this, if the similarity were restricted to the chromatic aspect alone.

 

But when it comes to Google's web browser, the resemblance between its logo and that from Windows tends to become more obvious, in that the former’s approach seems like a stylized clone of the latter’s logo. Since just taking a closer look at the two, side by side, will do the trick. It could be just us, but the only difference in there is the fact that Windows' fluttering flag has been rolled into a Google ball.

Google Chrome : Open Source Web Browser

Google Chrome has been built in a time when browsers no longer render mostly web pages, but full-blown web applications. That's why browsers need to be more powerful, more stable and more secure. One of the problems of the existing browsers is that a web page can lock the browser and there's no way to isolate that tab and close it. Google Chrome uses a new process for each tab. "We're applying the same isolation you find in modern operating systems," says Arnaud Weber. Each process is sandboxed to prevent malware from affecting your computer.



The new browser has a JavaScript virtual machine built by the V8 team from Denmark that generates code dynamically and has a better garbage collector.
Google Chrome's UI is inspired by Opera: tabs are displayed above the address bar, the address bar combines previously typed URLs with search results and suggestions and there's a homepage that includes frequently visited sites, recently closed tabs, bookmarks and searches.
