Google Releases Chrome 2.0 Pre-Beta

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the what-is-too-fast-if-it's-pre-beta dept.

Nick Fletcher writes "Just a few short months after the initial release, Google has released a pre-beta version of Google Chrome 2.0. It sports a few new features including form auto-completion, full-page zoom, 'profiles,' and Greasemonkey support. It seems the only notable feature would be profiles, which allows users to separate out their homepage, history, and bookmarks on a per user or category basis. It seems Google is still playing catch-up but they're definitely moving at a pace unknown to some of their competition. The full list of new features is available in the release notes."

  1. Firefox Devs Are The Problem by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I remember trying to get into coding with Firefox and it ended up being a nightmare and just not worth the effort mess. And the times I've come across Firefox devs in forums they really came across as outright pricks.

    Everyone remembers of course having to listen to Firefox devs sitting around in Slashdot stories about the horrible Firefox memory leaks ripping into people with the 'it's not a memory leak, it's a feature' bullshit.

    Google's code is of incredible quality from what I've seen so far. And it is incredibly easy to get in and start working on the project. And the Google engineers have shown themselves to be both brilliant and friendly. So far nothing but positive impressions.
