Google debuted built-in Flash in developer builds at the end of March, when it announced a partnership with Adobe, and said it was packaging Flash with Chrome downloads and would silently update the often-patched media player using the browser's background mechanism. This beta also introduces the integration of Adobe's Flash Player to Chrome's beta channel.
Other additions include support for several HTML5 features, such as geo-location and drag-and-drop synchronization of browser settings to effectively "clone" Chrome on multiple machines and the ability to use extensions when working in Chrome's "Incognito" private browsing mode. The update boosted Chrome's speed by 6% over that beta, which Google released in late March. Computerworldwasn't able to verify that claim - Google updates its browser automatically, without user intervention, making it difficult to keep Chrome on a specific version - but also tested the newest beta against the previous beta, marked as Chrome 5.0.342.8. On Tuesday, Google said the newest Chrome beta was 35% faster on the SunSpider tests than the beta of its earlier version 4.0 for Windows. Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), as usual, brought up the rear as the slowest of the five browsers in JavaScript rendering: IE8 was more than 12 times slower than Opera 10.53.Ĭomputerworld ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark suite in Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (SP3) three times for each browser, then averaged the scores to arrive at the final rankings. 3 spot, while Mozilla's Firefox 3.6.3 was just over half as fast as Safari and Chrome. Safari 4.0.5 was only slightly slower than the stable edition of Chrome, and so held down the No. Other browsers held their usual spots in the latest round of tests.
