Google has released the latest version 3 of their web browser Chrome only one year after version 1 and just one week after I have published the results of our latest browser shootout (which already awarded the first place to Chrome 2). So it was time to rerun the tests and include Chrome 3. And the results are impressive.

According to our "PRTG Javascript and Ajax Benachmark" the Chrome developers have made Chrome 3 almost twice as fast as its predecessor. When working with the web interface of PRTG Network Monitor Chrome 3 is...

  • 1,7x faster than Safari 4
  • 1,8x faster than Chrome 2
  • 3x faster than Firefox 3.5
  • 5x faster than Internet Explorer 8
So it is worth updating. If you're already using Google Chrome, you'll be automatically updated to this new version soon, but if you're itching to try this right away, download the latest version at google.com/chrome.
