Google Chrome 2.0.172.28 is Released
Well... they have helped me once again, those Googlers. They have released as stable Chrome 2 (actually 2.0.172.28), and with significant changes in the V8 JavaScript engine they are reporting a 30% increase in speed in JavaScript-heavy pages. Also, with the latest WebKit, page rendering is even faster.
I have to say this comes at a great time. I'm struggling with the size and memory footprint of my web app at work, and I have high hopes that this version of Chrome is going to be more stable, faster, and more memory efficient. Given that the problems are all in Google's hands (Chrome, Google Visualization API), I hope they have made real progress.
