Page Speed is an open-source Firefox Add-on integrated with Firebug developed by Google. Webmasters and web developers can use it to evaluate the performance of their web site and to get suggestions on how to improve them.
This tool performs several tests on a site’s web server configuration and front-end code. These tests are based on a set of best practices known to enhance web page performance and can be used to get a set of scores for each page, as well as helpful suggestions on how to improve the web site’s overall performance.
By using this information, you can:
- Make your web site faster.
- Keep Internet users engaged with your site.
- Reduce your bandwidth and hosting costs.

Developers can use the SDK to generate scores and suggestions in environments other than the Page Speed Firefox browser Add-on. Learn more.

Google has managed to churn out many major releases of the Chrome browser during the last couple of years and now they have released the first stable build for Chrome 6. The new version has a more simplified user interface: there’s a single menu, the “go” button has been removed and the Reload and Stop buttons have been combined into one, the browser no longer shows “http://” in the address bar, the bookmark button has been moved to the right and the toolbar has a new color scheme.
 Google Chrome 6 Further more Chrome 6 adds support for form auto-fill and support for WebM videos. You can now synchronize auto-fill data, extensions and all their settings. Extension sync is probably the coolest new feature to be introduced, because you can take your extensions with you no matter what computer your are using. “WebM is an open, royalty-free, media file format designed for the web” which is already supported by software like Opera, VLC, Winamp and by YouTube.
The Stable and Beta channels of Google Chrome 6 have been updated to 6.0.472.55 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This version contains the following fixes:

- Shift reload not working (issue 1906)
Windows
