Google explains how it doubled the speed of Chrome on Android
As determined as the US Department of Justice is to convince Google to ditch and sell Chrome, Google has other plans for its web browser. The company will not stop working to continue improving the most widely used browser in the world today, with new features and performance improvements.
In fact, Google today showed how Chrome has managed to double its speed in the past two years through various improvements made with each new update.
It was with the arrival of Google Chrome 112 to Android that the company set itself the goal of significantly improving the speed of the browser. To do this, they will take as a reference the result obtained in Speedometer , one of the most used and trusted speed testing sites for web browsers out there today.
With each new release, Google has managed to improve the browser's score, and it ended up doubling it with the arrival of Chrome 129. The company explains that models built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite platform managed to break records, getting the highest scores ever seen on the speedometer on mobile devices.
To achieve this feat, Google has made various improvements in Chrome development, resulting in faster execution of code compatible with Android devices and the latest mobile processors.
They also benefited from improvements to the JavaScrip V8 engine and the Blink rendering engine, which, along with joint work with Android device manufacturers and companies like Qualcomm, helped to make the most of the browser's capabilities.
Along with the impressive numbers achieved in Speedometer with the latest Chrome releases, Google highlights that these improvements have a real impact on users' daily lives, as they significantly speed up interactions with web content, reduce page load times and allow you to get the job done much faster.
