The Google Chrome internet browser has just received an update with the “beta” version of Google Chrome. This looks very interesting indeed and boasts an impressive 25%-35% speed increase however, it will take a lot to part me from my beloved Firefox, especially with all my customised SEO add ons, multiple profile set ups and the amazing GreaseMonkey script tool.

That said Chrome certainly seems as though it is on the right path to mass market usage and attracting many more users.

This “split screen” ability for example is a fantastic option that seems to have been “borrowed” from what I’ve seen Windows 7 do. It’s a great idea as the hype that users create from Windows 7 having the ability of being able to do this may push users that are still on Vista or XP to use chrome so the are not missing out on the “split screen fun”. That said i’d always recommend dual screen, especially for any SEO Analysis’s or Engineers out there! Dual screen will increase your productivity. Either way the new Chrome looks exciting and definitely worth a spin, that said have a guess what browser I’m writing this on
