As with a lot of mature technologies, we’re just not seeing major breakthroughs these days. But that doesn’t mean that the various development teams stopped thinking about how to speed up the user experience.
It’s been a while since competition in the browser market focused on speed, especially now that most vendors bet on the same Chromium codebase to build their browsers (with the exception of Mozilla’s Firefox and Apple’s WebKit-based Safari). Speedometer 2.0 tests for responsiveness, which makes it a good proxy for user experience. This, Google points out, is the fastest performance of any browser yet. As Google announced today, version 99 of Chrome on macOS manages to score 300 points on the Speedometer benchmark, which was originally developed by Apple’s WebKit team. Version 100 of Google Chrome will launch within the next few weeks, but even after all of this time, there’s still some room for speeding up the browser.
