The latest refinements from the company are said to help users avoid “millions” of hours spent in wait.
Google has unveiled major enhancements to its Chrome browser, aimed at significantly reducing the time users spend browsing the internet. In a recent Speedometer 3 evaluation, Chrome reached its best score to date, 52.35, due to updates that have improved its performance by 10% since 2024. These upgrades are projected to save users around 58 million hours by decreasing website loading durations.
The enhancements comprise redesigning how Chrome utilizes a computer’s CPU caches, trimming down irrelevant items, and upgrading its application of Apple Advanced Typography technology for typefaces. These adjustments have led to a swifter browsing experience, concentrating on fine-tuning rendering paths and optimizing memory structures.
Chrome’s performance has surged by 72% since the launch of the Speedometer benchmark, exhibiting enhanced memory efficiency and the removal of unnecessary processes. While the recent evaluations were centered on computers, Android devices, particularly those featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, have also benefited from these upgrades. A new iteration of Chrome for premium Android devices has achieved double its earlier score on the Speedometer 2.1 assessment.
Google is dedicated to persistently improving Chrome’s browsing functions, with additional updates forthcoming.
