The beta does include new features - some inherited from developments in the underlying WebKit framework and others in Chrome itself.
These new features include:
• form autofill (beware: autofill is on by default, but when you clear form data, the normal behaviour is to only delete values collected in the last 24 hours),
• full-page zooming (all page elements - including images - are scaled, not just the text),
• auto-scrolling (click the middle mouse button or scroll wheel and then move the mouse to scroll the page), and
• side-by-side view (drag a tab out of a window, and the resulting pair of windows automatically adjust to equal sizes taking advantage of the screen width).
The Chrome beta requires Windows Vista or XP. It is available
here, and has been released in addition to the stable and developer versions.
