The V8 and SunSpider benchmarks measure Javascript performance for browsers
Google announced Tuesday that the third stable release of Chrome is ready for the world, a little over a year after its debut.
Chrome releases evolve from developer previews to beta releases to stable ones, and the third version of Google's Web browser has now earned that coveted status. It's about 25 percent faster than the Chrome 2.0 stable version, and the new version also comes with a few tweaks.
Google redesigned the New Tab page with a click-and-drag mentality, added icons to the Omnibox to distinguish between searches, sites, and bookmarks when entering text in the address bar, and perhaps most significantly, added support for the video tag in the HTML 5 standard in a stable version of the browser.
