I just tried the new Google Chrome 4.0 and have to say that this might be the one that equates Chrome to firefox.  The main improvements for this version is such:

  • Extensions
  • Bookmark sync
  • Enhanced developer tools
  • HTML5: Notifications, Web Database, Local Storage, WebSockets, Ruby support
  • v8 performance improvements
  • Skia performance improvements
  • Full ACID3 pass, due to re-enabled remote font support (with added defense against bugs in operating system font libraries)
  • HTTP byte range support
  • New security feature: “Strict Transport Security” support
  • Experimental new anti-reflected-XSS feature called “XSS Auditor”

Needless to say the best change is the incorporation of extensions. Chrome have always been seen as a faster browser but not having that customization feature really stops people from switching to it.

I’m So Excited that i installed my favorite must have add-ons and are happy most of them are here!

  1. AdBlock. Now i can block advertisements!
  2. Xmark Bookmark Sync. Now i can sync my bookmarks across computers and browsers!
  3. IE Tab. Now i can view webpages that are only suited for IE in Chrome!

Needless to say everyone should try this!
