Earlier this month, Google released Chrome 99 with seemingly standard performance improvements and new APIs, but the update is actually quite significant: the developers said that the updated browser achieved a record 300 points in Apple’s Speedometer benchmark (overtaking Safari with a score of 277 points). In other words, Chrome can now be called the fastest browser for macOS.
The Speedometer benchmark was released by Apple in 2014 to measure performance by simulating real user interaction with a browser. It has become a kind of standard for measuring the performance of both web browsers and hardware.
According to Google, this result was achieved thanks to performance improvements implemented over the past year, and ThinLTO technology for compiler optimizations – in this indicator, Chrome is faster than Safari by about 7%. In graphics performance, the leader comes off at 15%, it is important on sites for working with images and videos, as well as in web applications with 3D rendering elements like Google Earth.
Since much of the Chrome engine code is seeping into Chromium-based browsers (Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, and others), chances are that they too will get better performance with upcoming updates.
