A shiny new beta for Google Chrome
March 17, 2009
In December,
we took the 'BETA' label off
our first version of the Google Chrome browser. Since then, we have continued to release fixes and updates to this version, while building and testing new browser improvements in our
developer releases
. Now, we're ready to roll out the
next
beta of Google Chrome
to get some early feedback on features that are still being polished.
The first thing you might notice about this new beta is the speed improvement, but you'll also find additional browsing tools, such as basic
form autofill
,
full page zoom
, support for
autoscroll
, and a new way to
drag tabs
into side-by-side view.
If you're already using Google Chrome and choose to install the new beta, you will update and replace the current version on your desktop. Otherwise, you can just keep on using the
stable version
.
You can find out more about this release on the brand-new
Google Chrome Blog
.
