The main feature of Chrome 7 is GPU hardware acceleration. Besides this new feature, it also fixes some bugs from Chrome 6. The speed is said to be <a href="http://goo.gl/7f8j">60 times faster</a>. However, hardware acceleration in Chrome 7 isn&rsquo;t enabled by default. You have to use a special method to turn it on.</p> <p>So what are the benefits of GPU hardware acceleration? Simply put, once you turn it on, games you play in the browser run much faster. On some older computers, Facebook lags noticeably, and turning on GPU acceleration makes that less likely. So I recommend that friends who like browsing (Facebook~) and playing games in the browser should definitely turn this on.</p>
