Chrome 10: Close to a perfect Web Browser 10

By | March 8, 2011, 2:44pm PST

Summary: The latest version of Chrome, just out, is amazingly fast. I mean its knock your socks off fast.

I’ve liked the Google Chrome Web browser since it first showed up in 2008. Today, with the slipstream release of Chrome 10, I may finally be ready to retire all my other Web browsers.

The reason I’m considering doing this is quite simple. Chrome 10 is screamingly fast. It’s more than ten-times faster than its first version was in dealing with JavaScript. It also leads all other of today’s Web-browsers when it comes to raw JavaScript processing speed with its new “Crankshaft” V8 JavaScript engine.

Update: I, and a lot of my readers, were puzzled about why this set of SunSpider results showed IE 9 doing so badly compared to Chrome 10, so I took a closer look. This time IE 9 took first by a nose.

How much faster? Well on the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark 0.91 test, Chrome left most, but not all of the other Web browsers eating its dust. I tested Chrome 10 on my Mint Linux 10 PC and was impressed. For benchmarking it though I decided to run it on my Windows 7 SP 1 system so that the forthcoming Internet Explorer 9 could get its innings in.

My Windows 7 test PC is a Gateway DX4710. This PC is powered by a 2.5-GHz Intel Core 2 Quad processor and has 6GBs of RAM and an Intel GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) 3100 for graphics. It’s no speed demon, but it gets the job done. It’s hooked to the Internet via a Netgear Gigabit Ethernet switch, which, in turn, is hooked up to a 25Mbps (Megabit per second) cable Internet connection. On this system, I then ran the SunSpider benchmarks three times for each browser,

IE 9, despite my hopes that it would show better, came in, a dismal last with a mark of only 1,185.8-ms (milliseconds). As for IE 8…. Well let’s just say it lagged even further back. That said, it should be kept in mind that only a year ago IE 9’s numbers would have been great. Today, not so much. IE 9 was followed by Firefox 3.6.15, the latest shipping version, with 945.0ms.

Apple’s Safari 5.03 took third place in my impromptu Web browser drag race with an impressive 422.1ms mark. And, coming up right behind Chrome, there was the Firefox 4 beta 12 with a time of 388.0ms. But, winning by a small margin, there was Chrome 10 with a speed of 321.0ms.

If it were speed alone, it would be a close race, but while Chrome 10’s pure speed is impressive, it’s not the whole story.

Yes it's true Chrome 10 is a really fast browser. But: Opera still opens up Pages a LOT faster then Chrome (most of the time chrome has twice as long!). Since i have a netbook speed is very important and i always thought, that chrome is the fastest browser but now i see, that benchmarks are not showing the reality, if that would be true chrome would be faster then opera but it isn't!

Millions of people still use Opera, including me. It's very fast, definitely the most secure, and has the most features of any browser. You can thank Opera for inventing nearly every cool feature that your current browser, ahem, "borrowed". Tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, speed dial, built-in torrent client, integrated pop-up blockers... all Opera innovations.

The question should be "Why isn't everyone using it?" Then, lazy web developers would notice and start finishing their jobs.

If Opera is so good, why do they not make a showing at pwn2own?
I used opera before v1 and a bit before, but not after it hit v2 as it was all about adware and other features that make me think of apple and itunes. I even turned a few people on to it that used it through v4. then I never heard of it again (I was actually shocked to find one of those people using v4) until I started coming to this website. as mentioned above, no one uses opera. it doesn't even show up on the top browser charts. I think when I stopped using it they started charging for it? It has been so long, I really don't remember. Chrome is what I use except for work, and that is because the websites I have to use for work are hard coded to only work in IE, it actually displays a page that tells you you are not using IE and need to do so to use the website. (only recently updated to allow IE8, maybe 4 or 5 months ago?). Although before I went to Chrome (maybe v5 or v6) I was always using firefox, and I managed to get some of the work sites to function in firefox, but only about 20%-25%.

So again I say Opera? as in the Phantom?

But You Need Another Brain......

@Rama.NET ....to figure out what malware is!

Not that it would help get the idea that Google nor Chrome Browser are malware through your "Anti Google Tin Foil Hat"! .....it'd just redirect your misguided ignorance and stupidy on other non malware objectives in your hidden Microcrude Agenda!

Not that your IE9 RC favorite is a bad browser, it's just that it can only take just so much input like your brain. After a one too many tabs get opened, it either crashes or turns into a snail. Along with it's being immediately upon release hit by a Zero Day Exploit! haha.... just par for course and all in the life of a Browser that was wrongly (as we see now) originally integrated into the OS itself in the first place!!! lol.....

This is the primary reason Security will always be an issue along with the fact that M$ refuses to learn from it's past and continues to use the biggest piece of crapware plugin in the history of the Internet....... ActiveX and VBS!

That's why come PWN2OWN 2011 guess which browsers will go down first? ....yeah most likely IE9 and Safari! .....and Chrome will be the only browser still standing....... again!!! ^_^

Sorry edited..... Safari is trash. Not because of the build quality of KDE's KHTML engine, but because Apple just took the engine and ported it to their own system they think is unhackable. Nothing in this world is Unhackable. It's just that Google realizes what these hackathons are for and pays to get their holes found for it's users safety! ........btw it's a different world inside Google now that Schmidt is gone. Let him screw up the President. All business w/ no hands getting dirty or real brain power, is exactly why Sony went from #1 Brand for years to almost bankrupt with Sir Howard Stringnutz!

Now Google under Larry Page and Brin can get back to designing great products for it's users not it's pockets. Make great products and your pockets will fill up without the RDF hype, Infomercialism and mockery the frugal con artist Steve has used (like an Ebeneser Scrooge) to build up Apple!!! ...but I still wish Microsoft more success with their Products too!

I use Safari on the Mac every day, plus FF, and it's much faster than 3.x and about the same as the 4.x beta.

Flash performance on the Mac is SIGNIFICANTLY faster in Safari than FF or Chrome.

As far as it being slower than FF/IE/Chrome on Windows, FF is slow as hell to launch, and IE launches faster than FF but still doesn't run any faster than Safari on the Mac.

@Rama.NET Absolutely right. I've tried them all and I keep going back to Firefox. I read these benchmark articles and I try out the browsers... and I am always disappointed. I thought my life would be better somehow but the marginal speed improvement I experience browsing actual sites is far outweighed by the annoyances or objectionable functionality/lack of functionality. Chrome is good but Firefox is just dandy thank you. The absolute worst of the lot is the Apple Safari product. Apple software works just fine on the mac but they are really out of their depth trying to write something for other platforms. So... Firefox it is for now.
Yawn, call me when something truly impressive comes out.

I prefer firefox in Windows. Linux Firefox has had memory problems with lots of tabs open. I do use lots of tabs.

Chrome on the Android phone works well, but I still prefer the firefox menu structure when I have the screen real estate. Speed is nice, but going nowhere fast is not better than going somewhere.

On the Mac Safari is fine. I like the visuals like the Reader and Top sites. Also, the trackpad works the best on Safari. I am a little concerned about security, Pwn2Own hacks prove there are holes. I hope Apple will fix them. Never had a virus on the Mac, hope it stays that way...

I have to admit
LiquidLearner 8th Mar 2011
I do like Chrome. Quite a bit actually. The only reason I use IE9 is the way the view at the bottom shows all tabs open rather than just the active tab on the one windows in Windows 7. Outside of that Chrome is pretty awesome. The biggest reason I use it over IE ever is when I'm on sites like this (not currently, doing an upgrade on my PC) where I post in the talkbacks. Love the built in spell check. I don't understand why Microsoft will not add that to IE9. It's not like they don't have experience with spell check...

As for the security, both IE8/9 and Chrome sandbox everything so I feel pretty good about using either. Safari is worthless in my opinion, depsite the rendering engine being the same as Chrome, I just can't stand the interface.

Unfortunately I can't recommend Chrome to my customers because of the complete lack of centralized control. It would be the perfect browser to unseat IE in the enterprise if only Chrome would right a .adm for central administration via group policies. I think they have an .msi so you can already do a mass roll out. But they need to allow a central IT department to control updates. Imagine if you used an in-house web app that relied on h.264 video and suddenly the latest Chrome didn't have it anymore. You can't opt to keep your users on Chrome 9. For home users the auto update is fantastic, for corporate America it's incredibly stupid.

The Enterprise
G-Systems 8th Mar 2011
@LiquidLearner

For sure, Chrome would do wonders in the enterprise. I fully agree with you...although I can not agree with your reasoning as to why it is not in use. Surely, the automatic update feature without centralized need (other than the guys--and gals--at Google) would bring relief to the teams of the enterprise tasked with testing updates before rolling them out. Furthermore, I am confident that it isn't the browser as much as the plug-ins that disrupt corporate legacy issues

Speaking of "legacy issues," this, I believe, is the main reason that Chrome has issues in the enterprise: Legacy applications that depend on the once (and pretty much still) monopolistic Microsoft products. Microsoft did a beautiful job ensuring that if you're with them, you need much of what they have (such as IE, even though it is horribly defeated time after time--although I really do have an appreciation for IE9 and run it as my secondary browser at home and at work).

For the sake of argument, if one had an in-house "need" for h.264, I see no reason that if the enterprise saw the benefits of Chrome as an ultimate saving on their bottom line, converting to the more prevalent Flash (which is natively supported and sandboxed in GC10) would be a no brainer...two birds with one stone, for sure.

The reason that I respond so concisely to your post is because as a system administrator, I always unofficially recommend my clients (and fellow admins) to use Chrome. The speed--which I thought could not dramatically improve before GC10--the convenience, the security...these are desirable traits for anyone. I think you're doing your customers a big disservice by not at least giving them the knowledge of Chrome's existence (a little, dramatic, I know lol). Every customer that I've had the pleasure of servicing (as a business owner) has at least had the opportunity to play with Chrome...it was a standard install for my services. Of course, I wouldn't do it without their approval, but after hearing of it, they just had to try it.

Ultimately, getting back to topic, you can't discount Google as having the capability to provide an "Enterprise Edition" that would allow centralization just like that. But, again, I don't find that to be the Achilles heel of going into the enterprise... The automatic update ensures that everyone in the service area is up to date and secured with the latest and greatest that Google has to offer. Would you want an exploit that was found by Google to take two weeks or more to be deployed because of a lack of initiative of an IT Department that is almost always understaffed and normally overworked?

josh@... 9th Mar 2011
@G-Systems

What I would not want is to have to explain to the CIO that an automatic update from Google just put the payroll web app out of commission on the same day that everyone fills out their timesheets. Too big of a risk to not have centralized control and testing. Google may test their browser with shrinkwrap software, but they don't test the 3,000 web apps running on our internal web servers. This is why IE is still the de facto standard. As stated by LiquidLearner, give me control over update deployments and I'll consider your browser.

It the same thing for all of the plug-ins. Imagine if Sun just dumped the "Enable the next-generation Java Plug-in" setting on all of our systems by default. Oh wait, that did happen, and it took down the payroll system the day everyone entered their timesheets. Fortunately, centralized control allowed the setting to be turned off in about half an hour on thousands of desktops.

This is why Chrome is a consumer browser, not a corporate browser.

@josh

I can't argue with that...I've experienced this myself with my users. I guess I'm looking at the reality that java isn't automatically updated...that it is a separate plug-in altogether... Unless there was some sort of Flash-based program that needed a particular version with no updates (as Java applets are often designed), Chrome's updates should not have an effect. But I totally understand the fail-safe of centralization of the updates.

It does make total sense as a "just in case"...

When Google's ready to take in IE in the enterprise, I think they will. Although, in the end, they're trying to change the entire way that people think of enterprise computing...touting their cloud services as next-gen.

It'll be interesting how this turns out...
