Google Chrome 2.0 Released

Heads up, Google Chrome-hounds. Version 2.0 of your favorite, lightning-fast, "anti-establishment" browser has been released, and it's quicker and more feature-packed than ever. That is, if you take the word of the massive corporation that designed it.

Over at the official Chrome blog, Googleite Darin Fisher says that a few of the new additions were included in the re-beta-ed beta released back in March, but the new version does contain some new features and sports faster speeds and increased stability thanks to the proper squashing of some 300 bugs.

One of the new, and predictably appreciated, features lets you remove those dastardly thumbnails from your most visited pages that popped up every time you opened a new tab. It also includes a full screen mode and a form autofill feature. All welcomed additions, and the browser’s speed continues to impress (and improve apparently, which is even more impressive), but I wonder how many users have Chrome set as their default browser.

Care to enlighten me?

Yeah. Made by the people who turned in the Chinese dissidents to the government.

I like Chrome 1.0 but until they support add-on’s like firefox it won’t really meet my needs.

I haven’t tried Chrome yet but I really like Safari. I can’t figure out what the big deal is about Firefox though. I think Firefox stinks.

About a month ago, I downloaded Safari4 (XP) - much faster than IE8.

However, today it refuses to load as I get an error message that "Safari encountered a problem and must close." Even removing it and downloading again does not solve this problem

Has anyone experienced this problem?
