First Look At Chrome 10

Posted by timothy on from the new-shiny-pretty-ok dept.

jbrodkin writes "Boosted JavaScript performance, Adobe Flash sandboxing, password encryption and an overhauled settings interface are among the new features in Google Chrome 10. JavaScript pages should now load 12% faster than in previous versions, and Chrome 10 beats IE9 by at least 50% in a JavaScript benchmark."

    Worse. My flipping of the "pages" was interrupted by an ad. I don't know why people want humanoid robots because it's obvious that if they're anything like the electronics we have now they're just going to be rude, annoying, obnoxious, fucking assholes.

  2. What benchmark? by benjymouse · · Score: 5, Informative

    TFA is a little thin - it is basically a slideshow.

    Still, IE9 beats out Chrome 10 in webkits own sunspider benchmark. On my old rig:
    IE9: 348.2ms +/- 0.8%
    Chrome: 446.0ms +/- 1.9%

  3. My accidental benchmark by DusterBar · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Last year, my daughter and I did a web page that generates mazes because she loves mazes and was amazed that I told her that the computer can be made to make one.

    Trying it on IE8, I thought the page was broken. It took almost all day to complete what FF and Safari and Chrome did in seconds.

    I then added some instrumentation and other HTML/DOM layouts to test the browsers. You can see this at http://sinz.org/Maze/

    By the way, IE9 RC is much better but still an order of magnitude behind Chrome.
