This latest release comes with UI tweaks and a generally cleaner look, and also contains fixes to various stability problems. As always, you can see this page for links to the Chrome build: The Chromium Projects: Early Access Release Channels

Google has pushed the latest devloper build of Chrome, 6.0.472.25

This update contains minor UI and stability fixes, though it also introduces a new problem with launching Chrome after the installation/update if you have a different browser set as your default.

After quite a lot of Dev channel releases, the first Chrome 6 build to have a beta tag (v6.0.472.33) has been made available to the general public for testing and, why not, regular use. The Chrome 6 beta is up to 64% faster than the latest Chrome 5 release and it comes with added features too.

Among the new functions offered are Autofill - to help complete web forms quickly and easily and synchronization for extensions and Autofill data. The user interface has also been updated (streamlined upper toolbar, all-in-one options menu), while stability was increased.

To download Chrome 6.0.472.33 beta for Windows, Mac OS or Linux check out this page : Early Access Release Channels - The Chromium Projects


I'm using this beta myself and it's speed is absolutely incredible!

Click to expand...

Slightly updated UI, nicer though still essentially the same. Other than that, I've noticed nothing new either.

Something else I've just noticed in version 7 is a very convenient build-in PDF reader. :)

Remember not so long ago we discussed enhanced html editor feature in browsers, so Chrome already has it. Getting better and better.
