In terms of common myths in recent years, most people think that Chrome consumes memory and is not particularly fast. However, because of its support and integration with Google services, most people make fun of the original browser of each system. It can only be used as a Chrome downloader (even because the native browser is very fast to use). But now it seems that Google is planning to break this myth starting this year, at least... in the macOS version, they seem to have done it In terms of speed and performance, it overtakes the performance of the original Safari browser. Continue reading the text of the (crazy) report that the new version of Chrome actually overtakes Safari on the Mac.

The new version of Chrome It actually overtakes Safari on Mac (crazy)
Although the Chrome is Bad webpage is still standing (that is, the doubts caused by Keystone have not been completely resolved). However, for those who are accustomed to the Google ecosystem or even have to use this For browser users, Chrome is still very necessary. I would also like to see Google enhance the speed of this signature browser – or try to use as little RAM as possible (eh).
When the official version of the Chrome browser When it advanced to the M99 version, although there were many functional and performance improvements, what the Google development team did not mention was that this time Chrome was not only faster but also reached a new milestone. To put it simply, its speed is the fastest on Mac. Even Apple's original browser has overtaken it.
This is really not simple. After all, in theory, the system default browser is because it is completely built with the own WebKit used by the system. If third-party applications It is really difficult to surpass the original browser in terms of speed performance.
However, Google not only found the secret to improve the browser speed in the macOS system, but even surpassed Safari on Apple's own Speedometer. The running score (!). According to the data published by Chromium Blog, the total score measured by Chrome M99 is 300, which is 7% higher than the existing Safari version; Google's test for graphics processing performance has pulled out an even bigger score. 15% gap.
This test was also completed on M1 Mac. Chrome engineer Max Christoff shared on the blog that in fact, it has taken 17 months since Chrome started providing the M1 SoC version in 2020. The time is also optimized to achieve a 43% performance improvement. When it comes to improving performance, the key to improving performance is the introduction of ThinLTO technology in the M99 version. The V8 Sparkplug compiler and short builtin calls are also key points in overtaking Safari's speed performance.
Google also said that in They have not slacked off on their own Android system. They recently achieved a 15% reduction in page reading speed; last year, through technologies such as Freeze-Dried Tabs, the startup speed was also increased by 13%.
