Surf web with faster Google Chrome 2 browser
Google Chrome 2 is now out of beta and is less about new features, but more on better performance. JavaScript-heavy web pages will now run about 30% faster. Also, added some useful features like form autofill, full screen mode, and the ability to remove thumbnails from the New Tab page. If you're Chrome, you'll be automatically updated, else download at google.com/chrome.

I've been a fan of Chrome since the start. I see these tests talking of its speed all over the place, but in every day browsing I'm no longer finding Chrome faster ,or as fast as the opposition. My default is now Opera 10 alpha, and if that should fail it would be back to Firefox beta. When a new Chrome arrives I'll download and try it, and every time it now disappoints, and that's a shame.
I have been a strong google supporter for some years now, every time they come out with a new toy I have to give it a try.
