Are you using Chrome in beta (version 13)? Noticed something different on Google’s main page lately? If you have, then lucky you because the latest Google Chrome 13 beta is now available along with one of its new feature, Instant Pages. On top of Instant Pages, Google also changed its interface a little bit by removing the “I’m feeling lucky” button, modified the search button, changed the header, and moved the “cached” and “similar” links nearer to the Instant Preview box, making them less prominent within the search results.

Not too long ago, the company released a preview of its Instant Pages feature that will load the first search result almost the instant you click on it. The new feature works by using its prerendering technology that predicts which link you’ll be clicking on and load the link beforehand so when it really is clicked, the page can appear immediately.

I’m not seeing any interface changes yet, but Google Instant Pages seems to be working pretty well. If you wish to try it out now, download Google Chrome 13 beta, restart your browser, and head on to www.google.com to test it out yourself.
