Screen Mode

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.

Absense of full screen mode was a complaint that was raised against Google Chrome when it was released.  ( I agree, there were many many more complains raied .. I am not forgetting any .. ). So, this bit of news is for those who were feeling so bad without full screen mode …  ( I don’t really use it … do you ? )Â

Next update of Google Chrome may have this feature added. It is already available on the Dev Channel ( Read test only version ). You can enable full screen mode on Google Chrome by pressing F11. So, wait for this update if you really miss this feature. Â

To bring you more updates, I will be changing my Google Chrome install to the Beta channel. Y0u can expect much more news about updates here. Stay RSSed !!
