Google Chrome 3.0

Earlier this week Google announced that they were releasing an updated version of their Chrome browser. Reading the blog post, I was particularly interested to see that they bragged about increasing their (already fast) JavaScript performance.

I installed the new version of Google Chrome about 10 minutes ago, and I honestly don’t see any improvement in my JavaScript. In fact, I’ve noticed that JavaScript is much slower than before on my local host! I had similar problems with Firefox 3.5 when I first upgraded. . . and I later uninstalled Fx3.5.

What are people’s thoughts on the new version of Chrome?

    We have some pretty heavily nested and complicated extjs ui’s. The difference between chrome two and three for those ui’s was significant. I would guess at least a 2x increase in render times over chrome 2. Its probably at least 10x faster than IE 8 and 5X faster fin FF.

    The UI pops up really fast and its and its and obvious improvement from my standpoint. I can’t wait to see these speed increases accross the board.
