New Google Chrome Beta released

Mar 17 2009, 2:45pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

Google unveiled a new beta version of Chrome. The new Google browser is supposed to be a lot faster. Google wants to get some early feedback on the new version and decided to go beta again with Chrome.

The new Chrome Beta is 25% faster on the V8 benchmark and 35% faster on the Sunspider benchmark than the current stable release.
Some of the new features you can try out include form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll (both thanks to a new version of WebKit), and a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view.
More details on the new Google Chrome blog. You can download the new Google Chrome beta here.
