- Google says the Chrome browser is now faster than ever.

When Google Chrome first broke onto the web browser scene, it became an instant favorite for its speedy performance and modern aesthetics compared to contemporaries such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Almost 20 years later, the team behind Chrome claims it continues to offer the same exciting performance, and the results back that claim.
Google has now announced leaps in Chrome’s performance, tested through popular browser benchmarking tools, including Speedometer 3.1 and Jetstream 3. As per the announcement, Chrome’s scores have jumped a moderate 5% on Speedometer 3.1 compared to its scores from last year. Meanwhile, the cores increased by 10% on Jetstream, which Google has built in collaboration with Apple, Mozilla, and other maintainers of web browser engines. These tests were conducted on a MacBook Pro with an M5 chip running macOS 26.0.1.
