With Google Chrome nipping at the heels of other open source browsers, it's not surprising to see developers ramping up efforts to get a new version of Opera out the door. Version 10.00 Beta 1 of Opera was released last week with a bunch of nifty new features, upgrades, and performance improvements. Though Opera is most notable for its snappy mobile browser, its new desktop version is nothing to sneeze at.
TechCrunch's Michael Arrington is reporting that Google's vice president Marissa Mayer told him in an interview that Chrome will be coming out of beta.
Mayer didn't give a definite time frame, but one would assume that this would mean sooner rather than later. This announcement is a little surprising for a few reasons.
On Monday, the Mozilla team announced the general availability of Firefox 3.1 beta 2 for testing. Aside from increased localization support, a new Private Browsing mode, new tab switching and preview behaviors, and support for a number of new web technologies (such as the W3C Geolocation API and offline applications), the new beta release uses the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine by default, and has made tweaks to the Gecko engine to speed content rendering.
