What to Expect from Google Chrome 6
Tech savvy folks have been testing Google Chrome 6, available in the dev channel, for the past couple of months, but those not wanting to fiddle with potentially unstable software have been stuck with Google Chrome 5 either in beta or in stable form. But if Google sticks to its regular pace, a beta release of Chrome 6 is just around the corner and a stable one is not that far ahead. Here are some of the new features and changes you can expect from Google Chrome 6, some of which have already been implemented and some that are still in the works.
On the UI front, Chrome’s already minimal interface gets some tweaks and trimming, clearing up even more space. The Go button, which normally sits at the end of the Omnibox has been removed, presumably since it didn’t get much use. The Stop and Reload buttons have been merged and are in place of the simple Reload one. The bookmark ‘star’ button has been moved to the other side of the Omnibox.
