Google Chrome gets a newer more stable beta
Today Google announced the latest beta version of its Chrome browser. This update provides speed and stability increases to the already very zippy browser. It adds new features like form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll (both thanks to a new version of WebKit), and a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view (shown below).
Google said, “The best thing about this new beta is speed — it’s 25% faster on our V8 benchmark and 35% faster on the Sunspider benchmark than the current stable channel version and almost twice as fast when compared to our original beta version.”
Here is the drag tabs feature in action
