Google Chrome: Beta is Back

Last week the Chromium team released a new Beta channel for Chrome. Previously we’ve had to choose between the dependability of the stable channel, or the cutting edge but inherently unstable developer’s channel. The Beta now gives users the opportuniety to take advantage of new and improved features and bug fixes before the masses, as long as you don’t mind the occasional rough spots.

So what does the new Beta have to offer so far? Speed, and lots of it! Fast response time is continuing to be a priority for the Chromium team. The V8 benchmark and Sunspider benchmark show the Beta to be between 25% and 35% faster than the current stable version of Chrome. We’ve always been impressed with this browser’s exceptional speed, and it’s only getting faster. Keep up the good work!
