Google Chrome is fast than Safari on macOS
An important part of the web browser experience is how the browser can load up your pages. No one wants a browser that’s sluggish when it loads pages. This is especially true for professionals who need to load up a ton of pages to do their work. Consequently, developers focus on cutting load times as much as they can. This is something that Apple’s browser Safari is good at. This has been the fastest browser on macOS. People have been using the company’s browser benchmark called Speedometer to gauge how fast their browsers are, and Safari scored a 277. However, it seems that the title has been taken by Google’s Chrome browser. With the version M99 of the browser, Google made some necessary changes, and that gave it a speed boost. This speed boost was enough to sling-shot it past Safari. Chrome was able to score a 300; that’s about a 7.7% increase over Safari.
Chrome made some changes for this speed boost
With the latest version of Google Chrome, Google said that it made some notable improvements to the speed. A lot of the speed has to do with the compiler. For starters, the V8 Spartplug compiler, introduced last year, helped push the speed up. That, coupled with enabling ThinLTO makes for fast compiling. These, along with other changes helped Google Chrome push past Safari on macOS. Not only that but there are speed boosts across the board. With version 100 of Chrome coming out soon, we could see even more speed boosts. Both Chrome and Microsoft Edge will reach version 100 at the same time, so there could be speed increases for both browsers. This will happen on March 29th, so if you use either of those browsers, you might see some differences.
