Chrome 2.0 Beta Autocompletes Missing Features

Google’s Chrome has made an impressive showing on the web browser market, and has even been named the “Speed King.” And it wouldn’t be like Google to leave it alone, either. With the announcement of their beta for Chrome 2, they’re looking to add some simple things that they hope will make a big difference.

First up, is form autocomplete. Something that Google considers “one of the most obvious missing features from the initial release,” will finally make a debut. Also added will be a full-page zoom, autoscroll, and profiles. Profiles will be “a great way to separate Chrome’s settings in different categories: you could create a work profile with its own homepage, boomarks and browsing history and a profile for your personal projects.”

While the first few features will be nice, the profiles sound like a great addition. Being able to manage a few different sets of information easily will be mighty substantial.
