And here are some improvements that are not immediately visible, but will make web browsing with Google Chrome more enjoyable.

Increased Stability:

Google Chrome is more stable than, than at the beginning of the launch of which still have more than 300 bug that caused crash

Increased Speed:

For the new version and with the updates to WebKit JavaScript engine V8, interactive web page will run faster, even if you have many tabs open. The V8 JavaScript engine has been designed for scalability. V8's approach to scalability is to use generational garbage collection. The main observation behind generational garbage collection is that most objects die either very young or are long-lived. There is no need to examine long-lived objects on every garbage collection because they are likely to still be alive. Introducing generations to the garbage collector allows it to consider only newly allocated objects on most garbage collections

If you already use Google Chrome, it will be automatically updated to this new version immediately. If you want to try this soon, you can get the latest version at google.com / chrome.
