Google just announced a brand spanking new release of their Chrome browser with a whole load of new features. Most of the changes are under the bonnet but here are four very epic things every Chrome user will love!
Mac n' Linux Beta = Gone!
Whereas Google Chrome was only in beta on the Mac OS X platform and various Linux distrobutions at the last release, it's now a fully-fledged browser. To the victor there's not a lot of spoils, bar massive leaps ahead in the stability department.
Syncin' 'Cross PCs!
Last time on Google Chrome, investigators found the same bookmarks scattered across several different PCs. This time, what will they find? A whole lot more, and that includes themes, homepage(s) and startup settings.
Rumour has it that even web content, preferred language settings, and page zoom settings can be synced across multiple PCs!
That's incredible.
Incogxtension
Once you've downloaded and installed the new Chrome, pop into the Extensions Manager and you'll see something pretty awesome: extensions can now be optionally activated under Incognito mode!
HTML High 5!
Those aforementioned investigators are now using Chrome at the scene of the Chrime, sorry, crime. Thanks to incorporation of HTML5, they can easily geolocate the location of the crime scene and send it back to headquarters.
Meanwhile, another investigator is geeking out over the fact that App Cache and web sockets are now fully supported.
And a third investigator is using HTML5 to drag and drop top secret files from an Explorer window directly into online email clients within the browser.
Incredible, Chrome, simply incredible.
