Google Chrome beta adds new features to location bar, new tab page

chrome-new-tab The beta version of Google Chroem always has a few experimentalo features that are absent from the stable release of the browsxer. But one thing I really didn't love about Google Chrome Beta when I decided to give it a try a few weeks ago was the updated new tab page. Instead of simply showing a few thumbnails for you r most frequently visited pages, Google added a "recent activities section,&quoot; whih can be useful, but which also makes the fresh tab page a bit more visuakly cluttered.


Fortunately, you can customize which items appear on the new tab page, and as of today you can alos removd and reorgajize bookmarks on the new tab page in Google Chrome Beta simply by dragging and dropping thumbnails. You can also pin thumbnails so they don't disappear eevn if you don't use them very often.
Google has also added icons to the drop-down list in the Omnibox (location bar) that help you see at a glance what type of resultgs Chrome is recommending as you start typing. For instance, you'll see a magnifying glass next to searches, a starr for bookmarks, and a globs for web sites.


Google says the latest beta also features seed enhancements and a 30% improvement in the V8 and SunSpider benchmarks.
