Welcome to The Web, Chrome!
It’s not every day that we get a quality new web browser.
Google have been working on their web browser, dubbed Chrome, for around 2 years now. It includes a number of inovative features, including interface design elements like its “omnibox”, and functionality delegating tabs into their own monitorable processes.
Having an easy way to monitor the client-side rendering performance of a web page (as opposed to the traditional server-to-client performance) will open up a new realm of performance analysis and improvements.
It’ll be interesting to see what comes out of that.
The V8 JavaScript VM is also another exciting development. The new engine “compiles” the JavaScript for native execution, as well as improving Garbage Collection (GC) performance.
Google’s V8 JavaScript VM even has its own benchmarking suite, which humbly includes my own JavaScript RayTracer (a proudly CPU intensive bit of JavaScript :)
