New Version of Google Chrome : More Features, More Speed

by Dinu

Google has released a new stable version of Chrome with more features, and increased browsing speed. More features have been added, so, check it out.

If you are wondering how to update Google Chrome to the latest version, listen, Google Chrome will it to automatically when you connect to the web. If you just started today’s browsing, you may close your browser once and then open it again, you should get those features ( update requires restart for changes to take effect ).

So, what are those new features being added here ?

  • More Speed : New version of webkit will give you more speed, especially on javascripts. Google chrome team is concentrating on browsing speed a lot, and they give you more speed with each of their updates. Sounds good, and hope it will get better, and will bring more users for google chrome.
  • Annoyed of New Tab Page showing your favourites ? : Manage them better, now you can remove or restore website thumbnails from the list.  We had reported this feature with screenshots, earlier. ( this is why you have to subscribe to our rss feed, to know about upcoming features ! )
  • Full Screen Mode : press F11 , that’s the shortcut for fullscreen mode on Google Chrome, now this feature is on your stable version. Again, we had reported this feature on dev versions long back.
  • Form Autofil: Another feature that you are expecting, form autofil also has been added to this new version.

Some more reasons to switch to Google Chrome. Tell your friends, and their friends, tweet this information, share it and let us bring more and more people in to Google Chrome Community !! Also, be sure to subscribe to RSS feed of this site, because this week, I am going to update you all on a new feature I found today on the dev version, something that lets you open your last session when you open Google Chrome.

Is Google Chrome Better than Firefox ?

by Dinu

general Is Google Chrome Better than Firefox ?Is google chrome better than firefox, or is there enough potential in google chrome to grow up to , or above, firefox ? That’s is a tricky question for a Google Chrome fan like me. Because, I love google chrome, and use it most of the times. But, being a new browser, it has its own limitations, I can’t stop agreeing on that.

The Present

Right now, Google chrome,  can’t give you many things that firefox is giving you, ( there are things on Google chrome that firefox can’t give you either, though ). So, in that sense, Google Chrome is not up to the level of  Firefox, then again, you can’t forget the age factor, because Google Chrome is a newborn baby, and Firefox is an adult !

Themes and  Extensions ( or addons or plugins ) these are two things that Google Chrome does not offer right now. Without them, many firefox users leave chrome after trying it for few times. But, they all agree, Chrome is fast and light.

The Future

Google has started advertising Google Chrome on TV, that’s a bold step, oh lovely Google !. This makes something more clear, Google is really serious about Google Chrome.  They have big plans for it. So, you can expect more in coming days. And yes, google chrome team is updating the stable, and beta versions quite frequently, fixing things and adding features. There is a beta update every month and dev update every week. Here is a blog post from chrome story that explains how to swtich your channels in Chrome. And I am writing another post very soon ( its in my draft folder now ) about why you should change your channel to beta.

Another thing about this constant updates is that, you do not even know when Chrome gets updated. When there is a security update, nodoy needs to be told, chrome does things automatically.

So, really, is it better than Firefox YET ?

Not really. There are loads of things that Firefox offers and chrome doesn’t. ( but remember, Chrome can, them in future. ).

But, I see a strong wind in favour of Google Chrome. A serious effort from the team behind it. We have to read this along with other developments happening around us. Google Android is being projected as an operating system for netbooks, and soon on PCs and Laptops …  Is google chrome a part of Google’s emergence as an Internet monopoly ?

So, I believe, in future, Google Chrome will move forward, and win over Firefox. What do you think ?
