Chrome becomes the fastest browser in the world after its last update

A few years ago, the war between the browsers was summed up to the key section: speed. Chrome, Firefox and Safari published results in performance tests, which became irrelevant when Google captured more than half the market. Despite the fact that it is a dominant force, Chrome still suggests that it is the fastest web browser in the world.

According to the publication on the Chromium blog, Google received a new high -speed record with ChromeThe field of the latest version of the browser (139 DEV) reached 10 % improvement in speedometer tests 3.0, the standard that measures the yield of the rendering engine. The profit is remarkable if we consider that a year ago this feat was reached with version 127.

Google explains that this was possible thanks to work in the three main areas of Chrome: Internal memory optimizationThe use of cache and string control. Firstly, the engineers reduced the unnecessary use of memory and improved the cache CPU to preserve what is really important. On the other hand, BLINK rendering chains improved, changing the hashing algorithms for faster versions.

Although all this may seem confusing for the end user, the result of this work is translated into Optimized use of useThe memory consumption, which was considered an Achilles heel of Chrome, has improved over the years. The same applies to the presentation of the pages, which includes rendering of elements and text.

In the test conducted with the MacBook Pro with the M4 and MacOS 15 chip, Chrome received the highest score in the speedometer 3.

Chrome is not the only one: Edge also increases its speed

Google browser is not the only one who benefits from these changes, since Edge (based on chromium) also announced improvements. Edge version 134 has registered a good score on the Windows 11 and Intel Core i5-13500 processor. In this case, Microsoft said that Edge begins 2 % faster and offers an increase of 5 to 7 % in the response capacity when loading pages.

In addition to the consumption of memory or load time, browsers now compete with integrating functions, such as artificial intelligence assistants or effectiveness modes. Far from improving the experience of use, sometimes they become a package Purging This is a compromise navigation. The most obvious example is Edge with Copilot.

Chrome is still supported by leadership with 64 % of the market share Browsers, although this can change in the near future.
