Google Chrome’s new beta is out



chrome-beta

A new Google Chrome beta is out.  They say it’s 30% faster, yadda, yadda, yadda.  So far, I only see 2 things I like that matters to me as of now:

  1. It now sports a truly working “visited link” color which I found annoying before.
  2. Themes! (enough said)  Granted, I don’t think the public can submit themes just yet but the initial set of themes are groovy.  User-submitted themes are mostly crap anyway.

It still has some negatives that I reported a long time ago but overall, I would say it has improved, at least from my perspective.  Enough, that I am going to pick up my Chrome usage once more. (Don’t worry, Firefox, I still can’t work without you.)

By the way, one thing I also hate is that I can’t work with Confluence using Chrome, without having to tweak it.

I’m sure there are a lot of improvements that I haven’t investigated on (the “I have no time” cliche excuse) but, again, overall, I like the improvements.
