oogle has added a few more features to Chrome recently. One of them is a self-crash mode, if the browser finds that it can’t gracefully shut down.
New releases of Chrome are being granted 25 seconds to shut down. If the browser still hangs after 25 seconds, Chrome will simply crash itself, Google’s revision log indicates. We have not been able to test the feature, but we are told that it is integrated in Chromium 15 builds 99620 and higher.
If you have not checked the Chromium flags page (about:flags) lately, a few other additions may also have slipped under your radar.
There is now support for smooth scrolling (which shows animated scrolling when using the space bar to jump further down in a long page), a new (not functional download UI), automatic pre- and auto-logins to Google pages, taskbar Chromium logos that feature profile logos, greatly enhanced syncing customizations, including the option to sync search engine settings as well, and improvements to the prerendering process, which includes several memory improvements.
Google also added a first interface for controlling WebIntent settings.
