Chrome to include an integrated PDF viewer

No Comments

To open a PDF document, you’d typically need to install additional software or browser plug-in in order to view it in a web browser. With the integrated Chrome PDF viewer now available in Chrome’s beta, you can open a PDF document in Chrome without installing additional software. The PDF document will load as quickly and seamlessly as a normal web page in the browser.

Google Chrome 6 released (beta)

No Comments

Today, we’re releasing a new stable version of Chrome that is even faster and more streamlined. Chrome is now three times faster than it was two years ago on JavaScript performance. We’ve also been working on simplifying the “chrome” of Chrome. As you can see, we took the already minimalist user interface and stripped it down a bit more to make it easier to use. We combined Chrome’s two menus into one, revisited the location of the buttons, cleaned up the treatment of the URL and the Omnibox, and adjusted the color scheme of the browser to be easier on the eyes.

Internet Explorer 9 beats every other browser

In tests displayed on the Internet Explorer 9 testing center Microsoft is claiming IE9 beats all other browsers in every test they performed.  Why do I doubt that.  MS tweaked the tests to ‘allow’ IE9 to perform better.  Yeah, I think I’ll wait for some independent tests.
