Google announced the newest beta release of Google Chrome, the company’s entry into the Web browser market. This version includes additional browsing tools, such as basic form autofill and full-page zoom. Google Chrome is competing in a crowded market against the likes of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and others.

Google announced on March 17 the newest beta release of Google Chrome, its Web browser. This beta has been released, the company says, with the intention of drawing feedback on its new features.  

Since Chrome initially rolled out in September 2008, Google has strived to make its Web browser unique in the market, including features such as Google Gears, a hybrid search address bar.

Seven months and 29 updates later, Google claims that this new beta version is nearly twice as fast as the original beta version. Although the company removed the "beta" designation from Chrome in December, it’s reattached the label "for some early feedback," according to the newly launched Google Chrome Blog that can be found here.

"The first thing you might notice about this new beta is the speed improvement, but you'll also find additional browsing tools," Brian Rakowski, product manager for Google Chrome, wrote in a posting on the official Google blog, "such as basic form autofill, full page zoom, support for autoscroll, and a new way to drag tabs into side-by-side view."
