Chrome Beta To Load Pages Before Users Completes the URL!

Google recently released Chrome Beta version or Chrome 17. Going by the official blog of Dominic Harnon, Software Engineer and Speed Demon, suggest that Chrome Beta is built on two core principals : Speed and Security.

Going a little deeper into it, Dominic explains that once we start to type in the URL bar or in the omnibox (the address bar that also doubles up as a search bar), if URL auto-completes to a site you are most likely to visit, then Chrome Beta will start loading that site in the background whether or not, user is done typing in his query. This feature will help Google prerender the targeted page which will significantly reduce the time interval between hitting of Enter button and complete loading of webpage.
Chrome Beta to Load Pages Before Users Completes the URLWith speed already taken care of, security aspect of Internet browsing in Chrome Beta is handled by Safe Browsing. Newly introduced, Safe Browsing comes pre-installed with Chrome Beta, and it offers protection from malware attacks. As Dominic states in his official blog,”To help protect you against malicious downloads, Chrome now includes expanded functionality to analyze executable files (such as “.exe” and “.msi” files) that you download. If a file you download is known to be bad, or is hosted on a website that hosts a relatively high percentage of malicious downloads, Chrome will warn you that the file appears to be malicious and that you should discard it.”

Google Chrome Beta is available for download. Readers are encouraged to try Chrome Beta to take their Internet browsing to a whole new level.
