Google Chrome has been working on a Beta release that contained optimizations that make web pages load 5% faster on average! Today, Google has included those enhancements in a stable Chrome release so all users on the web can enjoy a faster browsing experience. A 5% improvement might not seem like much, but consider how much time you use spend browsing the web? In fact, if you add up all those saved seconds across every Chrome user, it equates to more than 510 years of saved time every week!
So congratulations everyone, every split second counts! Download the new Chrome right now.
