Google Chrome Speed Tests
These speed tests were filmed at actual web page rendering times. If you're interested in the technical details, read on! Equipment used: - Computer: MacBook Pro laptop with Windows installed - Monitor - 24" Asus: We had to replace the standard fluorescent backlight with very large tungsten fixtures to funnel in more light to capture the screen. In addition, we flipped the monitor 180 degrees to eliminate a shadow from the driver board and set the system preferences on the computer to rotate 180 degrees. No special software was used in this process. - Camera: Phantom v640 High Speed Camera at 1920 x 1080, films up to 2700 fps "Why does allrecipes.com in the potato gun sequence appear at once, and not the text first and images second? And why does it appear to render from bottom of the screen to the top?" Chrome sends the rendered page to the video card buffer all at once, which is why allrecipes.com appears at once, and not with the text first and images second. Chrome actually paints the page from top to bottom, but to eliminate a shadow from the driver board, we had to flip the monitor upside down and set the system preferences in Windows to rotate everything 180 degrees, resulting in the page appearing to render from bottom to top. "Why does the top one third of the page appear first on the weather.com page load?" Sometimes only half the buffer gets filled before the video card sends its buffer over to the LCD panel. This is because Chrome on Windows uses GDI to draw ...

@AnimusPipboy
Wait a second….. “multiple windows is a GREAT feature?” “Tabs”? Lord all mighty ! Wasnt THAT on Windows taskbar 15 years ago? Chess is a FLASH app that “RUNS” on ChromOS ? yeah and it does on any OS in the market DOLT. This sounds like Spinal Tap and their “but it goes to “11″ amp. These guys are gonna be a bigger pain in the ars than MS + APPLE put together. Steve Jobs mustve died in peace looking at this crap.
AND, does anyone at GOOGLE speak without an accent?

…they were loading files off of the hard drive, and not a new page, they were just hitting forward… Sure, it is fast when loading from the cache, but what about ACTUAL webpages?

@Chris61933 IT’S A TRAP!!!
October 28th, 2011 - 22:36
I wished my internet was that fast. And I’m using Chrome for Pete’s sack! XD

@cookei24 I’m sure you think that your ad hominem was valid; but it wasn’t.

These pages they load are all cached. I don’t see much point in suing them. It seems enough of you have found Chrome to be helpful, fast, and substantial. But why, on a Samsung Series 5 Chromebook, should I have to wait even half a second for my New Tab page to load? Because it’s actually taking 1 and a half seconds. Google has failed on its promises for speed and efficiency and simply put out and overpriced netbook. At least it’s not Windows, though

Also, what’s the point in being on the Internet if I have to WAIT all the time for pages to load, huh? Why even bother trying to e-mail or Facebook or use Wikipedia if all spectre of efficiency or striving for knowledge is THWARTED by false advertising claims like this when Google can’t even create a working OS that doesn’t crash at the native level? I check the task manager then Stats for nerds and CAN’T CLOSE THE TASK MANAGER ON ANY PAGE AFTER THAT!!!
Google makes me HATE computers!

BULLSHIT! I’m on a Samsung Series 5 Chromebook now and it is SLOW! It’s not my 13 Mbps connection but how totally fucking LAZY this machine seems when loading up 53 KB or IMDb!
Of course, that they run this video in SLOW MOTION at least qualifies Google against false advertising, especially when Firefox is more compatible with websites than Chrome browser.
What a JOKE!

October 29th, 2011 - 03:27
I am using Rockmelt. It is Chrome, just multiplied by 4000.
October 29th, 2011 - 03:47
Still not gonna use chrome.
October 29th, 2011 - 04:14
Chrome is so fucking fast, that i have already cummed my pants before I even was thinking of surfing porn.
October 29th, 2011 - 04:24
HAAAXX!!!!
October 29th, 2011 - 04:39
Lol, at the end of the sound test i thought
“Okay, they can’t match that, the only thing fastest than sound is lig-”
*Lighting Test*
….
Wow. Good thing i’m already using chrome.
October 29th, 2011 - 04:49
the beginning sounds like the startup sound for the blackhawk in BFBC2!
October 29th, 2011 - 05:16
like if u are wathcing on Firefox
October 29th, 2011 - 05:28
@C9ESH This is about rendering a site, not downloading one, because the later is depandet of your internetsupplier. And that dosent have anything to do with chrome at all.

This “test” is flawed in too many ways to even be a joke.
The mouse button and trigger #2 are not pressed simultaneously, plus any of these things would come out as “faster” if the distance was lower. Ergo, it’s not hard to adjust the results to make Chrome “faster than a potato, sound, lightening, and my schlong” or slower than each of these things.
