Updated Chrome browser now loads pages 5% faster

Users of Google's Chrome browser can expect Web pages to load up to five percent faster, along with more tweaks and improvements.

Google's Karen Grunberg said Chrome 27 also features a FileSystem API for syncing data to Google's cloud-based Drive storage service.

"This automatic update includes security fixes (and) a new Adobe Flash build," Grunberg said in a blog post.

Heading the list of changes in Chrome 27.0.1453.93 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome Frame is that Web pages "load five percent faster on average."

Improvements were also promised in the ranking of predictions, spell correction, Omnibox predictions.

A separate article on The Next Web said the five-percent speed improvement stems from “smarter behind-the-scenes resource scheduling.”

"Starting with this release, the scheduler more aggressively uses an idle connection and demotes the priority of preloaded resources so that they don’t interfere with critical assets," it said.

On the other hand, the Sync FileSystem API synchronizes stored data across clients via Google Drive. — LBG, GMA News
