The V2 of Google Chrome is lastly available in final version !
Well, since yesterday, a little over 8 months after its launch, and following many comments and requests of Chrome users,
Google suggest a new version of their web browser.
A version which is meant to be
30% faster, thanks to a new version of WebKit and an update to their JavaScript engine, V8, and
more stable.
This new version brings
many improvements, bugs fixes (more than 300) and some new features such as :
-
Improved New Tab Page : you can remove the thumbnails from the New Tab page
-
Full Screen Mode added : possibility to view your web pages in full screen mode
-
Form Autofill added : it helps by showing information you've previously entered into the same form fields automatically. If at any point you want to clear out your information, that's easy to do from the Tools menu.
-etc. (for more, click

Nothing revolutionnary, no interface change or the appearance of extensions, but Google Chrome makes, inch by inch and at its rythm, its nest in the world of web browsers, and tries to catch up with its competitors.
If you have never tested Google Chrome, and
if you want to try this new version, I invite you to go here to download Google Chrome. If you're already using Google Chrome, you'll be automatically updated to this new version.
Also, Google said they weren't hunting for 'market share'. They just want to improve all browsers in general. (Because this will be handy when displaying adds, using Google Doc's, etc.)
Opera might have a small user base, they're responsible for lots of 'inventions' in the browser world. Soon adapted by a lot of other browsers.
I personally like Opera (especially its theme
I also used Firefox, but in my opinion it was just so bloated and slow :/
Now I'm a devoted Chrome user
I won't even mention IE...
