On May, 21 Google released a new version of Chrome, announcing some substantial improvements and even greater speed. I’ve been using Chrome v2 since its release, liked it in general, but hated other things.

New Features

This version of Chrome has some new features that we all missed – a form autofill feature that means you don’t have to type in usernames and passwords every time you visit a page (just make sure the website is fully loaded – otherwise your details won’t be saved), full-screen mode (hit F11) that is especially handy for netbook users, and an option to remove individual thumbnails from the New tab page, so that nobody will know that you were wasting time at work or watched… hmmmm… something inappropriate.

I’m really glad Chrome is catching up with Firefox and IE – they both have  full-screen mode and form autofill. And removing individual thumbnails from the New tab page is a handy feature if you don’t want it to get cluttered or don’t want a certain website to appear there.

The interface hasn’t changed, which in my opinion is good, because I like the minimalistic approach. If you were waiting for any interface changes, you’ll be disappointed.

Sydney, Australia – September 4, 2008 – Auslogics says it will fully support the new web browser Google Chrome poised to become a powerful Internet Explorer rival.

The users of Auslogics BoostSpeed may be the first to experience the full Google Chrome support. This computer performance optimization software will protect the privacy of Google Chrome users, as well as optimize the new browser speed, all by the end of September 2008.

According to Google, the new browser can add value for users while driving innovation on the web.  However, many believe that this is the company’s next step towards dominating the Internet and that it will place Google directly against Microsoft.

Auslogics believes that web applications have long outgrown browser technology, which has stood still for quite a few years. The company says that it will provide full browser support and help make Google Chrome run as fast as possible.
