Google Chrome Just Nabbed Its Highest Speed Score Ever

The market is flooded with various browsers you can choose from. There’s Microsoft Edge, Mozilla’s Firefox, Opera, Brave, and Google Chrome. If speed is your priority, then Chrome could be the browser for you. At least that’s according to a recent Speedometer test, where Chrome managed to nab its highest score ever.

Chrome nabs Speedometer’s highest speed score ever

According to Google, which was all too eager to share its victory, Chrome got the highest score ever. The test measures various functions of the browser. This includes HTML parsing, JavaScript and JSON processing, JavaScript and Document Object Model (DOM) interaction, DOM manipulations (element insertion and removal), text size computation (font shaping), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) application, layout calculation, and pixel rendering.

Google says, “The team heavily optimized memory layouts of many internal data structures across DOM, CSS, layout, and painting components. Blink now avoids a lot of useless churn on system memory by keeping state where it belongs with respect to access patterns, maximizing utilization of CPU caches. Where internal memory was already relying on garbage collection in Oilpan, e.g. DOM, the usage was expanded by converting types from using malloc to Oilpan. This generally speeds up the affected areas as it packs memory nicely in Oilpan’s backend.”

The company tested the browser on an Apple MacBook Pro M4 with macOS 15 and achieved a score of 52.35. Google also says this is a 10% improvement since August 2024. This means that users who use Chrome for 10 minutes a day collectively save 58 million hours. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but we get the point Google is trying to make.

Chrome’s criticisms over the years

While Chrome is many people’s preferred browser, that doesn’t mean it’s the most preferred. In fact, one of the main criticisms of Chrome is that it is a memory hog compared to competing browsers. Google has attempted to address this multiple times, including using machine learning to try to enhance the amount of RAM Chrome uses in each session.

That being said, Chrome isn’t the only browser that can brag about getting faster. Just a couple of months ago, Microsoft made similar claims with the latest Edge update, claiming it achieved “significant performance improvements.”
