Browsers War - News from the battle zone 3

Brian Rakowski, Chrome's product manager, wants to release Chrome for Mac and Linux before the first half of 2009 is up. It seems both version (Mac and Linux) are in the same stage of development and soon we will have some beta's.


"That team now is able to render most Web pages pretty well. But in terms of the user experience, it's very basic,"


Now there are three Chrome development trunks: stable, beta, and developer preview.

New features with version 2.0.156.1:

• Autocomplete
• Full-page zoom (Ctrl+ and Ctrl-)
• Browser profiles
• Import from Google Bookmarks site.
• Autoscroll,
• Faster Safe Browsing
• An update of Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine from version 0.3.9.3 to 0.4.6.0.
