The big news with version 8 of Chrome isn't its smattering of new features - the PDF Viewer is now sandboxed by default, and there's support for the forthcoming Chrome Web Apps store - but rather its performance.
The fruits of this labour - already being enjoyed by those brave enough to run the Dev version of Chrome - are now filtering through to those of us who prefer our releases to be as stable as possible. The slimmed down user interface and faster loading times are a direct threat to Chrome’s major selling points, which is why the development of Chrome has been ramped up in recent months. Google is smarting: with the imminent release of Internet Explorer 9, Microsoft has stolen a march on its rivals in the browser market for the first time.
