The new Chrome browser arrived. Version 3.0 most definitely brings improvements to the interface and is certainly much faster compared to its earlier incarnations. The 3.0 is lightening fast, with a 150 percent jump in Java script performance over the original beta and 25 percent jump over the most recent one.

New features include customisible tab pages where you can simply drag and drop to rearrange the thumbnails on the homepage. You can also opt for a ‘list’ view or hide the naughty pages that you don’t want (or don’t want others) to see. The new and more convenient Omnibox is loaded with features that show you whether the listed items come from searches, bookmarks or sites. HTML 5 will let you embed videos much more easily and you won’t need to install any extra plug-ins to play videos. You can also play around with the 30 new customisable themes to give your Chrome browser the look of your choice.

Firefox has 23 percent and Apple’s Safari browser has 4 percent. Chrome is still number 4 in the market share of 2.8 percent but the new version would in all probability double that number.
