SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google released a new version of its Chrome Web browser on Tuesday, as the search giant continues its efforts to get a foothold in a market dominated by Microsoft Corp.
The new Chrome represents the first major update of the software aimed at the general public since Google entered the browser business six months ago.
It offers Web surfers faster performance and a handful of new features, such as auto-filling of personal information on online forms and a new way for users to drag around tabs of different Web pages within the browser window.
Google was a distant No.4 in the browser market, with 1.2 percent share of the worldwide market in February, according to market research firm Net Applications.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer dominates the market, with a 67.4 percent market share in February, while the Mozilla foundation's Firefox browser had a roughly 22 percent share. Apple's Safari browser had an 8 percent share.
Last month, Google officially joined the European Union's antitrust case against Microsoft, describing the browser market as "largely uncompetitive." The EU has charged Microsoft with abusing its dominant market position by bundling its Internet Explorer Web browser with its Windows personal computer operating system.
According to a post on Google's blog on Tuesday, the new Chrome beta loads certain types of Web pages 25 percent to 35 percent faster than the current version of the browser.
The new features were previously available to programmers using the "developer" version of Chrome, but Google has now packaged all the updates together into a more reliable beta test version that is available for download.
Google also has a more polished, so-called stable version of Chrome, based on the older beta version.

Youtube officials confirmed on Tuesday that the website was being blocked in China. "Youtube has been blocked in China since yesterday" company spokesman Scot Rubin said. We don't know the reason for the blockage, and we're working as quickly as possible to restore access to our users in China."
There is no news that the Chinese government has blocked YouTube even though it has censored television broadcasts, including those by BBC and CNN, during coverage of issues such as its policy in Tibet and Taiwan in previous times.
"China is not afraid of the Internet," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang Tuesday. "We manage the Internet according to law ... to prevent the spread of harmful information."
SAN FRANCISCO - Google has rolled out two new improvements to its popular Internet search service which its engineers said will help guide users more effectively to the information they need.
"Starting today, we're deploying a new technology that can better understand associations and concepts related to your search," Google's search quality team technical lead Ori Allon and snippets team engineer Ken Wilder wrote in a posting on the company's blog.
The technology can offer users more conceptually related search terms at the bottom of the search results page.
Another improvement is the addition of longer "snippets", or lines of text describing the search results.
Users making a complicated search query with more than three words will now get longer snippet, in which the number of lines is increased to provide more information and show more of the words in the search query, the engineers said.

Cache memory or Cache RAM in Windows is used by CPU to reduce the time to access memory.
