Instant pages is one of the latest features to be added in the latest Chrome stable build. Instant pages will sometimes provider faster loading times when you click Google search results by automatically loading the page Google thinks you’re looking for before you click on the search result. This can provide the illusion of instant loading times. Look below for a video of Chrome Instant pages in action.

Chrome Canary brings pre-development excitement to the Mac

Post date Posted Friday, May 6, 2011 at 6:09 pm by James Murphy

Chrome CanaryPreviously, Mac users have had to use the dev version of Chrome if they wanted any unsafe Chrome action, but now they’re able to get experimental with the Canary build. The Canary build (available on Windows already) is the pre-development, untested and experimental release of Chrome, which comes with built-in Flash and PDF viewer.

Canary is highly unstable (think of it as alpha or even pre-alpha) and therefore Google does not allow you to set it as your default browser. It also adds and drops features without notice, and is updated very frequently. However, it runs alongside (instead of replacing) your existing, more stable build of Chrome - so don’t be too afraid to hit up the download link below and check it out!

Google Chrome Extensions

If you like living on the cutting edge (like me), you’ll already be running the latest developer builds of Google Chrome. Something that’s been lacking in Chrome is the ability to extend the browser’s default functionality via extensions. Good news – Extensions are here!

Whilst the offerings right now available @ http://www.chromeextensions.org/ aren’t exactly earth shattering, this will only grow over time as more developers get on board.

The platform itself works quite well, with extensions installed seamlessly with no browser restarts required. The extensions interface allows easy control over your installed plugins – enable, disable and uninstall.

The good news is (so far) extensions don’t seem to have a negative effect on Chrome’s performance.
