Happy St. Patrick

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! While you’re still sipping your Guinness and chewing on your shamrocks, everything seems to be new and shiny at Google: As announced today in their new Google Chrome blog, Google has released their new beta of Chrome.

New Features

Besides some really nice features (form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll) Google Chrome offers a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view – way to go.

Did Google Chrome Just Get Even Faster?

Have I mentioned speed yet? As if (ooooold stable version of) Chrome wasn’t fast enough, the neeeeew beta promised 25% to 35% in speed enhancements according to their V8 and Sunspider benchmarks. Ask your typical user to see why speed matters

Which Browser do you use?

Are you still on Internet Explorer? Don’t tell me IE6 – I’d have to creep through your monitor and strangle somebody… Firefox? Chrome? What are your experiences?
