- Google has made a number of settings under the Chrome hood
- He claims that the browser is now 10% faster than a year ago
- This is based on comparative analysis with speed counter 3.0, but we have not been shown comparative results with other popular web browsers
Google has boasted that Chrome is now faster than ever, describing the improvements it has made to its popular web browser to reach this increase in speed.
Neown reported Google’s latest blog article in a series entitled “Fast and the Curious” for those who are intrigued to see what DIY Google has done.
We are told that Chrome recorded its highest score ever on Speedbeller 3.0, a comparative browser analysis tool, and that it is now 10% faster than in August 2024 with the version of the latest version 139 (still in testing, in the development channel).
Google says that these improvements have been possible due to the Chrome team that works on all the main “rendering paths” of the browser, referring to the fundamental mechanisms that convert nuts and code bolts for a web website visible in Chrome.
With this work occurring more quickly on several fronts, you see web pages rendered in the browser a little faster, and it should act as a whole in a more reactive way.
Obviously, however, the mileage of performance depends not only on the browser, but many factors (including a given website itself, and how it is implemented, alongside the specifications of the PC and its current global workload).
Analysis: faster than ever – but some RAM concerns remain
There are a lot of details on the technicians provided in terms of exact settings that Google applied here, but to summarize, they include optimizations related to memory, better use of caches and work on the refining of data structures.
Fortunately, we, simple non -programmer mortals, do not need to know these ins and outs. The simple point to remember is that, as mentioned, Chrome is now 10% faster – at least based on this series of comparative analyzes.
This is the last in a series of boosts for Chrome, because Google showed us how faster its browser was at the same time last year, as Neowin pointed out.
The comparative analysis tool used, the speed counter, is a respected sequence of tests for web browsers, generally recognized to reflect a real navigation experience with a laudable degree of precision. What we do not see here, however, are comparative results that show how fast the edge, the firefox, or some of the other best web browsers are related to Chrome.
That said, a rapid analysis of recent independent tests with a speed counter suggests that Chrome is not to be outdone, and it seems that it currently has the edge (without puns) on other browsers.
Google seems to do a good job on the performance front, then, despite the reputation of Chrome as a RAM pork, a problem he sought to solve. There have been improvements in terms of rationalization of the use of memory with Chrome in the most recent past, however – and overall, the Google browser seems Nippy sufficiently these days.
That said, the concerns about the opposite winds linked to RAM remain. The quantity of contaminated perceptions is questionable, but complaints certainly persist on various online forums that Chrome does not do so well here, and exceeds its requests on the system, in particular with range PCs which are not well equipped in the RAM department.
There are more web browsers than speed too, and one of the remaining problems more thorny for Chrome is that of confidence – or rather a lack, with regard to Google “ spy ” on its users, which is a common theme in terms of online charges. Not that Google is alone in terms of technology giants in this regard – far from it.
