Chrome dev is safer and faster Chrome beta


This week Google took a guinea pig to use a lot of Chrome users, testing new features that can be implemented in the stable version of the browser. And this time were two updates in one shot: both the development version of Chrome as a beta version received something new this weekend.

Chrome dev had several security flaws corrected in the latest update, including one that showed errors of certificates for secure sites specifically for Mac OS X. He also started to show a dialog box before installing an extension or application of the Chrome Web Store and also notifies you when a page with a secure certificate insecure script tries to run and block his execution. Dev Chrome also comes with a new version of the V8, Chrome's JavaScript engine.

Chrome beta already won the feature can not be even faster than his previous one. At least when it comes to Google searches. Now he has the Instant Pages, which loads the first page of a search in memory before the user clicks so that it is open, the page only appears on the screen in the blink of an eye. And this functionality it is a web standard, other search engines may benefit tor and implement it in their results pages as well.

In addition, the Chrome beta is also now possible to print preview a page before sending it for printing. It may seem trivial and I'm sure many readers will say they already have your favorite browser, but Google never paid attention to this aspect, even though this is a feature requested since 2008.

Chrome dev is version 14.0.794.0 and can be downloaded at this link. Chrome beta turn is available on this link and went to the version 13 .. Both updates are available for Windows, Mac and Linux have been installed automatically for those who chose to use some of them.
