Looking At Google's Flashified Chrome

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the inevitable-compromise dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google quietly released a new beta version of its Chrome browser, which not only blows its rivals out of the water as far as performance is concerned, but comes with half a dozen new features, including direct integration of Adobe Flash. First benchmarks show that the new beta is about 10% faster than the previous beta in the SunSpider and V8 benchmark, and about 30% faster than Chrome 4, which remains the fastest JavaScript browser available today."

    Every keystroke in the address bar is sent to google by default according to microsoft. How else are they supposed to do google-suggest?

    Might be a work around if you can use the browser in iPhone and iPad
    if the integration with flash is tight enough and the iPhone/iPad OS doesn't recognize the process
    as flash due to the integration. So in other words the browser would have to mask the flash execution as some "other" software process not flash,
    essentially hiding it from the OS?
