Google Chrome reaches its third major release in one year

September 17, 2009 in Browsers | Permalink

I'm sure it was only a few months ago when Google first announced Chrome to an unsuspecting web audience. Ok, it wasn't months, it was a year ago, but they've released three major revisions in a single year. At this rate, they'll over take Firefox 4 which isn't planned for the end of 2010. Perhaps the plan. Maybe web users might think Google Chrome v4 is the more advanced browser as it's excelled above Firefox, which is stuck at v3.x. Unlikely, Opera is now at v10 and it still struggling to take ground from Firefox and Opera.

Google Chrome v3 is now available and it does ship with some new interesting features. For example, there's full support for the latest HTML5 standard. It's ultra-fast as you would expect, as well as shipping with a themed user-interface. Other highlights included an improved tab page when you open a new tab and a few minor enhancements. No Mac version though, which some people had expected for the Chrome v3 release.

Just like Microsoft they need more than one attempt to get it right.
I would not use it. The standard version is more than adequate for non geeks.
