Google Claims New Chrome Browser 30% Faster

Posted by raj on 08/6/09 in Featured, Web browsers

Google’s new Chrome web browser is still in beta, but they’ve released a new version which they claim is 30% faster than the previous version. Also new is some added support for HTML 5, and selectable themes. Personally, I’ve found myself gravitating more towards Chrome, but primarly because of the simple interface and the ability to separate a tab out to a new window, if desired.

Chrome, which currently runs on Windows XP or Vista, works fine on my laptops, but with an earlier version from 2008, it causes my desktop computer’s hard drive to “grrr grrr grrr grrr” constantly.
