Google unveils 'faster' Chrome 3.0
« on: September 16, 2009, 20:04 »
Google has unveiled a new version of the Chrome browser, which the company says offers 25 per cent faster Javascript performance than its predecessor.

Google released a beta version which included features such as the Omnibox, still present in the official release.

The Omnibox suggests sites from your history and bookmarks when you type a few letters into it and uses icons to help you distinguish between the suggestions more quickly.

Chrome 3.0 also supports the HTML5 standard, as does the latest release of Mozilla's browser, Firefox 3.5.

"We're very excited about HTML5 becoming standard in modern browsers, and continued to add HTML5 capabilities to this stable release," said Anthony Laforge, program manager for Google Chrome.

Recently Microsoft's Amy Barzdukas, general manager for Internet Explorer, slammed rivals who used claims of support for HTML5 to promote their browsers.
