Google has just updated the Chrome browser for Android. It brings improved scrolling and JavaScript performance as well as better touch sensitivity.
Here is the official change log from Google:
We also ran the SunSpider and BrowserMark 2 benchmarks on the Sony Xperia Z to see what kind of performance boost the new Chrome brings. On the SunSpider test the new browser scored 1306ms, compared to the old 1908ms results (that’s a huge 31% performance bump).
Lower is better
On the BrowserMark 2 benchmark the new Chrome running on a Xperia Z unit did 2093 points, while the older version of the browser scored 1865. This means the performance has increased by 12%.
Higher is better
We suggest everyone who’s using Chrome to get this update as soon as possible. It’s definitely worth it.
