New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video

adeelarshad82 writes "Google developers are always working on and updating Chrome in three channels — Stable, Beta, and Developer — in increasing positions on the bleeding-edge scale. Today the company thought changes to the Beta channel warranted a post on the main Google Blog. The advances range from the superficial addition of themes for customizing the browser's window borders to even faster speed under the hood to internal support for HTML 5 tags such as <video> and 'web workers,' which allows the browser to divvy processing work among sub-threads."

I am willing to accept unobstrusice ads

[140Mandak262Jamuna]

I hate the flashing banners, pop ups, pop unders, and distracting flash animations etc as much as anyone. But I do not mind the content providers making a little money selling my eye ball time, if the ads are not distracting and if the ad load is not too much.

In the non-cyber world, we all accept ads in the magazines and newspapers, realizing the subsidy they provide to the mags and papers. Same way here.

I wish there is a way to set my browser agent to tell the websites something like:

Will accept text ads.

Will reject all animations gif, flash or javascript.

Will allow 20% of screen real estate to ads.

Content load time not less than 0.33 times ad load time.

Currently looking for ads with keywords : digital camera, DVD cases/sleeves, air tickets to India
