Google has just updated their Chrome Browser to 2.0, and I have been using it for the past 2 days. The browser seem to be faster in rendering and that tells me one thing: Google has gone back and optimized it’s connections / Dataset handling to the back-end (WebKit) rendering engine. Also, Text-Draw is much better and Text smoothing and Anti-Aliasing, looks much better. Not much changes in terms of GUI or MMI (Man Machine Interface), all seem to be working as it used to. But GUI Thread response seem to be working better. They might have taken our suggestions and add more threads managing the GUI. I hope that is the case. Since Google decided to adopt the ribbon format of Microsoft Office 2007, they should also provide the equivalent items that exist in the standard menu settings in the Ribbon format. Some equivalents are there – but some are missing. Hopefully Google will provide the missing items in the next minor upgrade. Overall, this is a major update and all those that are using Chrome as they Primary or secondary Browser, should download the update. One more thing that is missing from the Chrome is the version for Macintosh (dubbed: Chromium). This seems to be a never ending battle between Google and Apple. Over the table they are good corporate friends – under the table, Google seems to be stabbing Apple as hard as and often it can! Why? Still a mystery to me! May be one day will find out why… Until then, enjoy Googles ‘Free’ major update to Chrome.
