Google Chrome released a new Beta

Last December when Google dropped the Beta tag from its browser, Google Chrome. But now they have released a new beta version of Chrome which is claimed to be faster than the stable version. The official blog of Chrome quoted that the new “beta” version is 25% faster on V8 benchmark and 35% faster on the Sunspider benchmark than the current stable version and is almost twice as fast when compared to original beta version.
rom today onwards, Google is going to develop its browser in three parallel channels: Stable channel, Beta channel and Developer preview channel.

Some of the new features include in new beta release are form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll and a new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view.

The latest beta version can be downloaded here.

Speed has became a real factor in today’s Browser WAR. From the latest release of Safari 4 beta which is claimed to be fastest browser till date, the browser war has becoming really intense.
