5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
- New SafeBrowsing implementation. SafeBrowsing is now faster, more reliable, and uses the disk less often. - Use different browser profiles. You can start a new browser window that uses a different profile (different bookmarks, history, cookies, etc.). Use [Wrench menu] > New window in profile. When you create a new profile, you can name it and add a shortcut to your Desktop. - Update the V8 Javascript engine to version 0.4.6.0 (from 0.3.9.3). - New network code. Google Chrome now has its own implementation of the HTTP network protocol (we were using the WinHTTP library on Windows, but need common code for Mac and Linux). We fixed a few bugs in HTTP authentication and made Google Chrome more compatible with servers that reply with invalid HTTP responses. We need feedback on anything that's currently broken, particularly with proxy servers, secure (https) sites, and sites that require log in. - New window frames on Windows XP and Vista, supporting windows cascading and tiling, and other window-management add-in programs. - Experimental user script support (similar to Greasemonkey). You can add a --enable-user-scripts flag to your Google Chrome shortcut to enable user scripts. See the developer documentation for details. - A new HTTPS-only browsing mode. Add --force-https to your Google Chrome shortcut, and it will only load HTTPS sites. Sites with SSL certificate errors will not load. So, if you just can’t wait, go and grab the pre-beta 2.0 now - but if beta versions, let alone pre-beta versions, aren’t your cup of tea, then leave well enough alone and the real 2.0 release will be out before you know it! |
