Google Chrome Is Here

imageYou don’t need to be a geek to appreciate it–Chrome is *fast*. Download Chrome here, then run the JavaScript Benchmark Suite.

My JavaScript Benchmark scores (bigger is better):

  • Internet Explorer 8 Beta: 28
  • FireFox 3.0: 144
  • Chrome 1.0: 1,418

Two orders of magnitude faster than Internet Explorer. If Chrome makes it to the end of the day without crashing, I’m dropping FireFox.
