Speed Test – Google Chrome versus Firefox and IE! »

03 Jun 08 Google Chrome Launched with Multi-Threading Technology!

Google Chrome has just been launched (and of course our new Chrome Hacks blog along with it) with multi-threading technology that makes use of multiple processes (in Windows system) instead of traditional 1-process approach. (which is taken by IE and Firefox)

It’s still unclear how beneficial Google Chrome’s multi-threading technology is but in my experience, it does help.

You can read more about Google Chrome’s multi-threading technology over here.

Here’s an excerpt from Google Chrome Page:

Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.

This is just the beginning – Google Chrome is far from done. We’ve released this beta for Windows to start the broader discussion and hear from you as quickly as possible. We’re hard at work building versions for Mac and Linux too, and we’ll continue to make it even faster and more robust.
