The latest Chrome beta version 5 promises up to 35% speed improvement over the previous version which is already faster than current stable release of the browser. The new release includes some new HTML5 features, “namely Geolocation APIs, App Cache, web sockets, and file drag-and-drop capabilities”.
According to Mads Ager, Software Engineer at Google, “We’ve been tuning, testing, and polishing the V8 engine to give Chrome a hefty boost in speed.”

This beta version of the browser is now also including a native version of the Adobe Flash Player. Security conscious users who prefer to work without Flash can disable it in the browser’s options.
