Chrome 9 goes Dev, brings laundry list of changes

Filed under: Google, Browsers

Google Chrome 9 has arrived for Dev channel users, and while the list of changes in 9.0.570.0 is a lengthy one you're not going see any major differences. Not just yet, anyway.

A number of the updates lay the groundwork for features that will be "coming soon." There's been a lot of work focused around Cloud Print, for example. Google Instant integration has also been tweaked, and a number of small UI issues have been touched up. The extension system received a lot of attention, with tweaks being made to both the filesystem and sidebar APIs.

Among the more significant additions are things like the internal DNS resolver (which arrived in Chromium recently) and password sync. Google's V8 JavaScript engine has been bumped to v2.5, and don't forget about Chrome's hardware acceleration features -- they haven't been turned on by default just yet, but work continues. They are on the roadmap for the final release of Chrome 9.
