New Beta version of Google Chrome to be released shortly

Google is going to roll out the next beta version of Chrome (Google’s web browser) by this week only. Users of Google can know that the new version is available to them by clicking on the wrench icon and then looking at it’s ‘about’ page. The newer release will have 0.3.154.9 as its number.

This latest version of Google Chrome will be coming with top issue fixes, security updates and several other changes that should affect the function of this browser. Here’s a rundown of all the updates that will be available at your helm with Google Chrome 0.3.154.9:

  • It’ll be difficult for manipulating the address of the browser, which was previously used to show different addresses for spoofing attack.
  • Scrolling the page of the browser will be possible by using the touchpad of your laptop.
  • The problems with plug-ins, which had an impact on its popularity, have been sorted out to a large extent. Now, plug-ins, which include QuickTime, WMP, Silverlight and Flash should work better than before.
  • Your browser would no longer crash, if you close a tab containing PDF files (another drawback of the previous version).
  • All secure-access sites will no longer be stored in the data history of the user.
  • If you’re using web proxies, then you are sure to get better performance.

You’ll even be able to identify the modifications in the new Chrome browser, from the view point of user interface. These modifications include changes in the position where new tabs, new windows and new incognito window options will sit. Again, there is news that you’ll find improvement in its spellchecker and the handling of downloaded executable files.

So, wait till the end of the week and see what Google has in store for us with Chrome 0.3.154.9!

interesting, especially since the latest firefox update is due to…though this one is with the touted ‘anonymous browsing’ i.e. it leaves no trace of use…

Well I am using 0.3.154.9 version for maybe a month now…It was released as developer version long before. It has nothing new to offer apart from several bug fixes.


Dwayne November 8, 2008

There are a couple of bugs that I have found with it. Application that are run within the browser such as blogger and a couple other things do not work well with Chrome. Copy and paste is difficult also. Maybe the new beta will have fixed at least some of this.

I wasn’t too impressed with the chrome and also looking at updates happening on the chrome, i ll prefer to wait till it comes out with a version that is completely compatible and also user freindly.

I love using chrome but i still prefer firefox. So i guess, i’ll skip this one.

I’ve just checked and it looks like I’m already using the latest version of Google Chrome. It’s a great browser, but there’s one or two things missing which would be handy, e.g. support for rss files.

Although chrome is good, it still need addons like firefox to make itself a worthy competitor in browser wars.
