It Loads Web Pages as you type their URL

There is so much competition as far as Web browsers are concerned that most of us end up being spoilt of choice. I am spoilt of choice myself.


The market place is filled with all sorts of browsers ranging from Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and do you know that Google Chrome has just upgraded to version 9?


The New Chrome 9

The new version of the browser, which resulted after Google fixed nine flaws in its former Chrome 8, has hit the market with 3 most important new features.
These are:


WebGL support for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics: WebGL is based on OpenGL ES 2.0 and provides a programmatic interface for 3D graphics. It is a context of the canvas HTML element that provides a 3D graphics API implemented in a web browser without the use of plug-ins. It uses the HTML 5 canvas element and accessed using Document Object Model interfaces.

Chrome Web Store for browser applications: only for chrome users in the US.


Chrome instant search: a tool that begins to load a web page as soon as you start typing its URL into the address bar of the browser.


On the other hand, where is the race heading to?

Google upgraded its chrome browser four times last year alone from version 4 to 8, where the last upgrade was in December 2010. Two months have hardly passed and we have version 9.

Do you think the giant company is making a nice move?
