Google Chrome 6 beta overview

Google has decided to accelerate the release versions of Google Chrome to reach the pace of a version every 6 weeks.

This strategy of "get out more and faster" allow users to regularly add new features, but not necessarily immediately those they expect.

Some important features and could be delayed to meet deadlines and out of stable releases.

Version 6 of the browser is already available for download on the "dev channel (channel developer) but it is still very unstable for general public use.

Let's see what the project team decided to include in the milestone 6 browser:

  • Preview before printing, a major weakness of previous versions. But users of MacOS or Linux version 7 should wait to receive
  • Synchronization of extensions, a user could find the same extensions on multiple machines.
  • Synchronization of historical
  • A fix for the display of some SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
  • Merge buttons: Options page and browser configuration in a single-button menu
  • Improved handling of images to exploit multi-core processors.

Among the features that must wait for another note the arrangement of the tabs on the sidebar (rather than at the top of the window), viewing full-screen videos to HTML5, and the Native Client (which would allow applications downloaded via Chrome run safely in a sandbox (sand tray to)).
