Update Google Chrome to Latest Beta Version - New Beta: Faster than Speeding Potato

Not that the previous release is by any means slow.

Chrome team has just churned out an even faster beta version of the Google browser.

5.0.375.29 beta "incorporates one of Chrome’s most significant speed and performance increases to date, with 30% and 35% improvement on the V8 and SunSpider benchmarks over the previous beta channel release. In fact, looking back in time, Chrome’s performance has improved by as much as 213% and 305% on these two benchmarks since our very first beta," quoting Google Chrome Blog.

Today’s beta release also includes a slew of new features -- like; synchronization option not only bookmarks, but also browser preferences including homepage, themes and startup settings, web content settings, and even language. You may now install and use Chrome extensions while in incognito mode.
