Chrome makes javascript go REALLY fast
There are a lot of benchmarks about how fast Chrome is at running Javascript. While true there is still a good amount of bias in them. Obviously Google optimizes for their benchark suite, mozilla for their’s, IE for who knows what. But numbers don’t do it justice. Download Chrome and try out these sites to see what a difference it makes. Okay, so some of these sites are optimized heavily to run on today’s browsers so try running them on a slower machine if you can. Trust me, you’ll notice the difference.
