A faster Google Chrome means what?

    Yesterday's introduction of Chrome version 2.0.172.28 was touted by Google as being up to 30 percent faster for handling JavaScript. After using the update to the stable release extensively for the past day and running it through two JavaScript tests on two computers, it's conclusively faster than the previous stable version of Chrome.

    If past trends are an indication, Google is slowly building up its browser and will soon integrate its numerous online Web apps and services to do what it does best: play for keeps.

    i believe that achieving faster results is due to the following reasons:
    * multiple connections - most likely that if a website has 5 objects to fetch (pictures etc), is opens 5 connections.
    * multithreading - to run tasks simultaneously.
    * pipe lining - to launch several http requests at once.

    hope i helped.

    Glad you like it, altough Chrome 2 is really fast, but i think FF is still the best one.

    Hey thanks for the link for the PR checker, I've been missing that... It's not the same, but at least it works. Have been a die hard firefox fan before, but feel quite at home with Chrome... Probably end up seeing firefox releasing a new version and a see-saw effect for a little while though....

    It mean that Google chrome is leading the brower business. If it is faster than IE and FF, then I have to browse with GC.

    also it means that you are not wasting time while waiting for websites to load :)

    HA. No, it isn't. And I use Fx (it's not FF, it's Fx) and Flock before GC, so it's not a bias...
