New starting dial screen for new Google Chrome

The Great Goog has released a major update for Chrome. Not Chrome OS but the original Google browser that seems to have updates and small releases every other day.

The headline news will be the speed and the themes they’re rolling out. It’ll be the HTML5 support that they’ve included that’ll interest the tech blogs the most (correctly so – HTML5 is coming).

What drew our attention? The new start up screen. We’re getting less window tabs and more text chat.

This first view shows a vanilla Chrome install with a standard start up screen.

This second view shows the start up screen with the window icons removed and with a lovely wavy theme.
