Google Chrome


After released the first stable version of Google Chrome 2 few days ago, now we have Google Chrome 3 beta that ready to download and try out. Yes, that's Google Chrome 3.0.182.2 beta.
Google Chrome: a new web browser for Windows
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

Change Log :
Google Chrome now supports the video tag
auto-spell-correct flag will fix common typos like "teh" for "the" in the blink of an eye
Various bits of UI clean-up (toolbar and dangerous download bar paint issues)
Multiple crash fixes.
Version Changes :
WebKit - 531.0
V8 - 1.2.5.1
Gears - 0.5.21.0
Google seems to be dead serious to close the “version-gap” to Mozilla Firefox and probably even other popular Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer or Opera in a hurry. The web browser known as the Google Browser was released less than a year ago and is already reaching version 3 which would close the version gap to the Firefox web browser. Google Chrome 3 has been published on the dev channel from where it can be downloaded and installed on a computer system running a Microsoft windows operating system
. The web browser will update existing Google Chrome installations on the system to the latest beta 3 version of it.

There are not many exciting new features in the release despite the jump from version 2 to 3. The release notes list 16 changes to Google Chrome 2.0.180.0 which has been released about two weeks ago. The most notable changes are multiple crash fixes, support for the video tag and fixes to user interface elements drawing improperly on the screen.
Users who are thinking about installing the latest Google Chrome dev release should be extra careful as this release is not intended to be run in work environments. The list of changes do not really make it a necessity to install Google Chrome 3 yet either.
