Google Chrome Just Got Faster

May 27th, 2009 hunter

Google recently announced updates and improvements to the Chrome web browser. I have had Chrome installed since the first day it came out and use it from time to time but Firefox is still my browser of choice. I have been playing with it though and have noticed that it is very responsive and is actually a pleasant user experience and according to TechPost stats 7.8% of the visitors to this site are using Chrome. Below is a post from the official Google blog.

We introduced Google Chrome back in September, and it’s received a great response so far. Since launching, we’ve been working hard on adding the top requested features and making Google Chrome even faster.

Today, we are updating to a new version of Google Chrome that is faster than ever. JavaScript-heavy web pages will now run about 30% faster. See the chart below or compare scores yourself.

Additionally, we’ve added some useful features like form autofill, full screen mode, and the ability to remove thumbnails from the New Tab page.

If you’re already using Google Chrome, you’ll be automatically updated with these new features soon. If you haven’t downloaded Google Chrome, get the latest version at google.com/chrome.
