Google Releases Chrome 3

Google release Chrome version 3. It’s faster, supports HTML5, and still does not run on the Mac OS.

While the new stable release doesn’t introduce anything groundbreaking (unless you just love custom themes), it does provide some important tweaks. The biggest one focuses on Google’s#1 obsession: speed. This is Chrome’s bread and butter. The search company claims that the new browser is 25% faster at executing JavaScript than Chrome V2, among other speed fixes.

There are a few other updates of note. First is more HTML5 support, specifically the < video >, < audio >, and the < canvas > tags, which help embed video and audio without the need for Flash. Another big one is Chrome Themes, which were available in the development and beta releases but now make their official debut.
