In the latest version of Chrome (6.0.472.0), just after the installation completes, you will be asked to Choose the search engine to be used in the Omnibox.

ie, Google / Yahoo / Bing ?

Remember, even the very old versions of Chrome, had an option to change the default Search engine for the Omnibox, but in this version, you will be asked in the very first time of using Chrome. Only that is the difference.

I noticed something new in the Google Chrome’s address bar, which is the new pop-up blocker icon.

Just click on the icon in the address bar (window with a red X) to see the popups blocked, and to control the pop-up blocking for the particular site.

I believe this version is now available only in Chrome’s dev channel.

If you are using Google Chrome browser, you need not look for a translate option in the website you are trying to read.

You don’t even need to use Google Translate extension for Chrome.

Chrome comes with an In-Build translation feature which automatically identifies the language of the webpage, and offers translation.

Try translating, and let me know how this works for you.
