Google: Chrome 5.0 Beta With Built-in flash

Google seems to do much on its Chrome browser, which enjoys a rapid development. Although the 1.0 release appeared on the Web in December 2008, Chrome 5.0 is now available for download in beta.

Among the new features, we note first the integration of Adobe Flash Player standard version, as we announced in early April. This solution brings many advantages: You can use the latest version of Flash and Flash Player will be updated automatically as Chrome. For the Mountain View company, the aim is to gain simplicity and security. At the same time, support HTML 5 has been enhanced with Google Chrome 5.0 by integrating new features like drag and drop files, location-based API, App cache for data protection and even Web Sockets.

The sync function via a Google account has been extended to other elements in addition to the Favorites: themes, menus, language, updates, settings or parameters related to the content. In addition, you can now also use extensions in private browsing mode, or Incognita. You must activate them manually one by one, and a system message states that Chrome is not responsible for the failure of these extensions.

Obviously, Chrome 5.0 increases in performance. The latest release is able to obtain a JavaScript performance improvement of 30% with V8 test, and 35% on SunSpider. You can download Google Chrome 5.0 Beta (5.0.375.29) follow this link.
