Google Chrome Unleashes a Speedier Beta
« on: March 17, 2009, 02:54:05 PM »

Although it came out of beta last December, Google’s Chrome browser has a new beta version that is faster than its “stable” version (and buggier too). Starting today, Google will be developing its browser along three parallel tracks: a stable version for mainstream users, a developer track for the programming crowd, and the new (or rather re-introduced) beta track for more adventurous consumers.

This is just moving along at a disturbing rate it seems to me.

Gmail is still Beta and they are pronouncing a their browser as stable ??? NOT!

    I wonder what privacy issues do they have this time...
    EULA would be worth checking.

    Gmail is probably NOT beta. I bet google is keeping the beta tag on so that users complaining about nonworking features can't complain to google too loudly cuz google can say it's still a beta product.  :)

    the google beta is faster, it removes those unnecessary buffer overflow checks- that was just useless code, it served no purpose aside from removing buffer overflows. so they placed in in some structured exception handling, slapped the beta tag and compiled it.  ;D

    a lot of google stuff are gonna just get the beta tag slapped onto it so google won't be liable for any damages their software causes at the time of release ..... LOL

      I use Google Chrome, just because it's much faster.  I used it when it first came out and I only used it for about 2 days because it crashed so much.

      google chrome is getting better, now that google guys have been fixing the problems. But why the tab page that defies privacy?

        Chrome is alright.  I am still a bigger fan of firefox though.  However, it definately beats IE in my opinion.

        i think chrome is more or less of a safari branch. Better than safari anyway on windows.

          I didn't like safari that much.  I tried it for a bit but had to go back to the fox.
