Google Chrome 2 Released

27 May 2009 1 comment Posted By:Vivek

Google has launched the chrome 2.The Chrome 2 comes with a lot of new features and several bug fixes.Also it is more faster than its predecessor.

The main features of the chrome 2 are as follows.

  • Form auto complete like in Firefox
  • Full page zoom
  • Spell check
  • Updated JavaScript engine which will load web pages 30% faster than the older version.The difference in speed can be noticed if you visit heavily AJAX enabled websites.
  • Full screen mode by pressing F11 which was not available in the former version.
  • Enhanced security of browsing only pages in HTTPS mode.Just adding a shortcut,it allows only HTTPS sites to load.

Add to all these new features and the additional high speed,Google also claims to have fixed around 300 bugs which was found in the earlier version.Google has used its own HTTP network protocol instead of Winhttp.dll which was the cause of so many bugs in chrome 1.
The browser still looks very basic,but who cares when you have these wonderful speeds.If you have been using chrome,it must have been automatically updated. It is still available only for Windows.
