The changes available in this update of Google Chrome are pretty important, as they usher in a new set of features designed to improve overall experience with the browser.

An important change refers to suggestions in Omnibox, which will be pre-rendered if the confidence percentage of the user following suggestions is high enough.

The configuration panel of the web browser has been enriched with a new entry, UI for “Mouse Cursor”. This actually controls the Mouse Lock API permissions. The options at hand let you manage web sites access to mouse cursor (allow, ask or deny).

On Windows desktop shortcuts are created the moment a new profile is created. This way you can easily start Google Chrome with a specific active profile. The shortcuts bear the distinctive icon and the name of the profile, so you can’t really get confused.

On Mac the developer improved PDF rendering.
