Chrome OS Update: latest version is faster and better

Image via Wikipedia
Is the latest version of Chrome OS really faster than its predecessor? The CRN Test Center has the answer.

Last week, developers of Google's browser-based operating system announced a major Chrome OS update that includes support for VPN, secure WiFi and other security enhancements, a 32 percent reduction in resume time, as well as other performance improvements.

The update was supposed to install automatically on most systems, and did so upon booting our review unit. While we're unable to verify the claim of faster resume times precisely, our test Samsung Series 5 Chromebook does seem to come on a bit faster than before; about eight seconds from sleep to log-in.

As for the browser itself, or more precisely the V8 JavaScript engine, performance on the whole is about four percent faster than results we found published on June 23, soon after the release of Chrome OS.

For a fair comparison, we measured performance using the same tool as those earlier results, version 6 of the V8 Benchmark Suite, which is a set of JavaScript code that V8 developers have been using themselves to fine-tune the engine. In June, the Chromebook delivered a combined score of 1919, and today, our machine yielded 1991, an improvement of about four percent.
                      
V8 Benchmark Suite comprises seven individual scripts, each designed to measure a specific performance metric. The biggest improvement was in the Splay test, which measures data manipulation. In June, the V8 benchmark scored 789 on the Splay test, and today it scored 947. The splay test measures the ability to manage splay trees, which are binary decision trees that adjust with time and as decisions are made so that search results can be improved.
                                
Another positive step for the enterprise was the release of a tech preview version of Citrix Receiver ICA client for Chrome OS. This will enable Chromebooks to launch and control full-scale desktop apps through the browser, adding to the device's lure in the enterprise by increasing substantially the number of available applications and affording control over their deployment and security of their data.

Installing the Citrix Receiver required just a few clicks, after which it puts a Citrix Receiver icon on Chrome's startup page. Clicking the icon prompts the user for a URL and presents a connect button. From there, the Citrix ICA client works much as it does on Windows or any other platform.(from www.crn.com)

Google introduces chrome extension

Image via Wikipedia

Google has used its official blog to reveal the introduction of a new Chrome extension, Google Related.

The tool will operate in the background while you browse, for example, a news article, working to find the most relevant and interesting material related to what you’re viewing.

Included amongst the results are the categories: video (most commonly providing results generated from YouTube); news; web and images; displayed in a thin grey bar at the bottom of the web browser. Google Related will remain minimized until the user moves the mouse over the bar, while a built-in +1 button means that users can share content with others as well.

By paying close attention to user behaviour patterns, Google is able to hyper-personalise the results provided by the tool.

An article on Search Engine Watch has suggested that it is possible for webmasters to take advantage of this new tool, by making content more SEO friendly.

It states: “You can optimize your media or page contenting by improving your rank on other Google services; the images, video and news content reflect the top results found in Google universal search and Google News.”

Google Related won’t be ignoring the results provided by competitors, which is great for those hoping for a wider variety of sources.

SEW also added that while the Related toolbar was unlikely to have a great impact on the search engine’s algorithms, it had the potential to become a metric employed in the future.(from www.clickthrough-marketing.com)

Google Chrome 15 finally gets a bookmarks menu

Image by Varawut.com via Flickr

Ages ago, Google Chrome had a command line flag that allowed users to enable a drop-down bookmarks menu. It’s a feature that power users loved, since it provided quick access to favorite sites without having to display the bookmarks bar and eat up extra vertical pixels.
But Google later backtracked and removed the toggle — not necessarily a huge problem since several extensions are available that provide similar functionality, but all of those chew up a little bit of RAM. The menu was, for all intents and purposes, footprint-free.
Now the bookmarks menu appears to be on its way back to Google Chrome. This time it’s not even hidden behind a flag. Rather, it’s integrated into the wrench menu just below the new tab and window options. Hover over bookmarks and your toolbar’s contents slide into view. You can then pause on subfolders to drill down and click a link to open it in the current tab.
It’s a subtle change, but one that will be very handy on smaller screen devices like the first round ofChromebooks. Like another feature that surfaced recently, tab sync, it’s one more tweak that brings Chrome functionality in line with other browsers like Opera and Firefox. That’s not to say Chrome isn’t advanced and modern, because it most certainly is both those things. It’s just that there are still plenty of little tweaks like these that Google will be making so that detractors can’t say “My browser can do this, but Chrome can’t.”
