Google has released a new version of its Chrome browser that includes its Instant Pages feature.

Instant Pages can get the top search result ready in the background while you're choosing which link to click, saving you yet another two to five seconds on typical searches. Let's say you're searching for information about the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, so you search for [dc folklife festival]. As you scan the results deciding which one to choose, Google is already prerendering the top search result for you. That way when you click, the page loads instantly.

Other improvements in the latest stable release include Print Preview (Windows and Linux only, for now) and a smarter Omnibox.

And What happens if the web has malicious scripts? Spam? Virus?

Cool, more needless data downloading even if those top results I don't click on. Its probably just me but I hate that kind of stuff. So let's say I'm on a slow connection. Hmm why is it going slower? Oh it's because my browser is downloading stuff I don't care to look at, thanks chrome. I hope it's a feature that can be turned on or off.

Yes, it can be turned on or off. On my install, the default was off. As for the slow connection, that's actually when you'd want to use this. Let it download the first page while you browse through the results.

Im sure google built some type of traffic analyzer that automTically disables Instant on slow connections.

Except what if I wasn't going to click on first result? Anyway yes if it's an on/off feature then my comments don't matter.
