Chrome Beta Updated to 15.0.874.83

Google’s rapid release mill for Chrome is working and the result for this week is a second update in the beta channel. Chrome Beta just moved to version 15.0.874.83 on all supported platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac and ChromeFrame).

The latest beta has been updated with a newer V8 (3.5.10.16) for all platforms and sees some bug fixing. Extension messages are now delivered only to contexts that care, which translates in a reduced number of JavaScript objects and better navigation on websites with many iframes.Moreover, scrolling of full-frame PDF documents in accelerated compositing mode (“GPU compositing on all pages” enabled in about:flags) has been repaired. Thus, the document is now displayed normally and all pages are updated correctly when scrolling up and down.The release also fixes some Mac-specific problems with printing PDF documents (headers and footers are now added only for HTML pages); additionally, the keyboard shortcut for starting speech recognition has been mended.
