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."

    You provide HTML5 for your Chrome, Apple does't support it. It is about to die and nobody uses Flash for anything serious but YouTube use...

    Google has a history of fighting to protect your private data.

    What the hell? No, they don't. They have a history of fighting to index all of your private data for their advertising platform, and CEO Eric Schmidt said people who want privacy have something to hide.
