If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it: The quest for faster Chrome on M1 MacBooks

The phrase 'if you can't measure it, you can't improve it' has driven a significant portion of our work to enhance Chrome's performance since its early days. In this post, we'll delve behind the scenes and share all the efforts that went into making Chrome blazingly fast.

We're thrilled to announce that Chrome has achieved an impressive score of over 300 on Apple's Speedometer 2.0 benchmark suite on M1 MacBooks, the highest score we've ever seen. Our commitment to performance has never wavered, and we continually analyze and optimize every aspect of Chrome. Since its launch in 2008, one of our core principles has been to build the fastest browser, whether you're using your phone or laptop.

We wanted to follow up by going into greater detail on how we achieved this milestone in browser performance. Last week, we released a blog post about our improvements in Chrome speed over the past year, culminating with the M99 release of Chrome. This article will provide an in-depth look at the work that went into making Chrome blazingly fast.

With the introduction of Apple's M1 MacBooks, we knew it was essential to optimize Chrome for this new hardware. We worked tirelessly to ensure that our browser took full advantage of the M1 chip's capabilities, resulting in significant performance improvements. Our efforts have paid off, with Chrome now capable of delivering exceptional speed and responsiveness on these devices.

Our dedication to performance has been unwavering, and we're committed to continuing this journey. As new technologies emerge, we'll be there to adapt and optimize Chrome to provide the best possible experience for our users.

In conclusion, our relentless pursuit of faster Chrome is a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional user experiences. We're proud of what we've achieved so far and are excited to see where our future efforts will take us.
