Google Chrome 5.0.342.8 Beta / 5.0.360.0 Dev

Google Chrome also uses a brand new javascript engine (V8), which is much faster than existing javascript interpreters. This means you can create more complex and more intensive AJAX applications with fewer speed and processing constraints. Finally, Google Chrome is built on top of WebKit, so Google Chrome users will benefit from the CSS3 features being added to WebKit as those features are released.

Thanks for the updates. :)

Oh, the nsane.down download page title doesn't say "Beta" after 5.0.342.8.

Fixed - thanks for reporting it :)

I did notice this posting of yours in the previous posting of a Chrome update. That is true - installing it (Stable, Beta or Dev) from scratch will get you all these updates automatically.

Thanks for fixing the title. :)

Yeah, I don't like having Google Updater run every time my PC starts. At least now it goes away after a while whereas before it always kept running all the time. :( If you do the Google Web-based install at least once, you will get the Google Updater. Even if you uninstall Google Chrome, the Google Updater remains behind (you have to remove it manually if you don't want it). That's why I only install Chrome with the installers from nsane :notworthy: — they are Google-Updater free!! :D

But for those people that always want to make sure they have the latest Google Chrome — without checking here at nsane :o :eek: — just install Google Chrome from Google's website.

I don't want updater, but .... When I was gonna install Chrome stable two days ago, I wasn't able to access nsane.down, so I didn't wanted to download it from there but what to do. :mellow:

@DKT27: If you have the Google Updater and you don't want it, what I did was:

1. uninstall Google Chrome (do NOT fill in the check box to delete your personal data)
   
2. manually delete GoogleUpdate.exe in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\Application folder (if I remember right)
   
3. reinstall Google Chrome (using a Google Chrome installer you got here from nsane)
   

I'm not sure if uninstalling and reinstalling was really necessary, but I did all three steps on 2 PCs and everything works fine. :D

After Google Updater is removed, you will see this in the About Google Chrome window: "Update server not available (error: 3)". This is because Google Chrome can't find GoogleUpdate.exe to call home. :D

Google Chrome 5.0.360.0 Dev is very stable and the Windows 7 integration is very good. I've only come across two problems with Windows 7 integration:

1. If you open new tabs, but you haven't switched to them yet, they appear as blank pages in the taskbar preview. Once you visit a tab, it appears fine in the taskbar preview.
   
2. When you move from tab to tab in the taskbar preview, the contents of the Google Chrome window change to match the tab you're viewing, but the actual tab at the very top doesn't change at all.

New tabbed bookmark manager lands in Google Chrome developer channel

Earlier this week, the Chromium browser's bookmark manager moved from a separate native app window to a new tab inside browser itself (a la Opera). The streamlined manager has quickly made its way to Chrome, landing today in the developer channel build.

The bookmark manager in-a-tab feels is a much more logic implementation on tabbed browsers, and it's been a feature of Opera for quite some time. You can still drag-and-drop to rearrange, sort, import, and export your bookmarks like you could with the native manager.

Along with the manager, the new build includes improvements to Chrome's autofill and translate features.

Download the dev channel build of Google Chrome and take it for a spin -- or check out my previous post to see the bookmark manager in action.
