Put the pedal to the metal with a faster Google Chrome
May 21, 2009
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
. Here's a short video demonstrating some of this new functionality:
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
.
