    • Google Chrome 2.0 is now out. It features a faster JS engine, some other performance improvements, form autofill, fullscreen mode (yay), and an improved new tab page (source). You can update to it inside Chrome; just click the wrench icon, click "about," and then click "Update Now" once it appears (it will say "checking for updates" for a few seconds at first).

    • Since the majority of the computing world uses Windows, it's not exactly unreasonable to release something on that system first. For the record, I mostly run Linux, so I'm not a Windows fanboy.

    Is it really like you're missing anything? Yay, it's got a fast Javascript engine, as far as I'm aware, that's pretty much it. I'd rather stick to Firefox and/or Safari if I happened to be using OSX.

    Oh, Safari is pretty much superior; but Chrome is what I use on my Windows boxen and I do like consistency <3

    The version of my Chrome is 2.0.180.0. I tried it on V8 benchmark, and I did not see V8 assembling regexp to machine code... (or it will get around 1000 to 2000)

    Still no Linux or Mac port?
    tsk tsk Google :|

    Luckily, Codeweavers is already working to get their Chromium ports to Mac and Linux to have some of the new features on Chrome 2.0 <3

    • You people seem to be forgetting something: Macs and Linux aren't real Operating Systems that's why it's only on Windows

    I'm sure enough the google team will figure out how to make it work on the Mac and Linux systems soon enough. But I haven't really seen any impressive changes in V2

    Click to expand...
    But if Linux isn't a real operating system, then what powers Google's servers? :(

    Some of my first impressions of Google Chrome 2.0...

    - Fullscreen is nice, but I'd at least like a address bar at the top like in Firefox...
    - Wonderful with Google Apps, simply wonderful
    - Noticeable speed difference
