Google Chrome Blog: Bringing Google Sidewiki goodness to Google Chrome, Part I

We have xmarks, but now we have integrated site information built into Google Chrome. Sidewiki gives you usefull information about websites, how useful is yet to be seen. Xmarks would show up in your google searches. With little sytlish x's off to the side of the listing and is non-intrusive.



Google Chrome's Sidewiki looks a little intrusive taking up brower space, meaning i'll probably have it closed most of the time. It's been out about 2 months now..

So.. What do you think?

25% - 35% Faster Google Chrome Beta

So, Chrome isn't gold, not on this years St. Patties Day. If you were trying to get a hold of the new current beta, which supports some impressive speed boost numbers in the javascript engine, then you probably noticed that when you tried to launch the installer, it drifted off looking for leprechauns and a shinny pot of gold.

The good news is that the installer has found it's rainbow again and you'll get your new beta version, when trying to install chrome now.

The version not only boasts speed improvements of up to 35% in javascript execution, but some of the other new features are form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll, and a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view.

V8 Gives Chrome a proper filename in Drag n Drop OP.

Chrome is slowly starting to take shape! I use the browser more and more, and it's a toss up between FireFox and Chrome these days, it really depends on what saved links I have and what browser they are in. The feature of dragging out components, and being able to split browser session is fantastic, when you looking to do a side by side.

Now the best fix in this release, is that when you drag an image off of Chrome, it now saves the file with a proper file name. Collecting public domain images is now a snap. A drag and drop operation.
