Google: Chrome’s latest version is faster than Apple’s latest Safari

Published

on

On March 8, Google said that the latest version of the Chrome M99 browser is faster and more responsive than Safari , even on Apple’s own Mac platform.

According to Google, its browser is the fastest on the M1 Mac, about 7% faster than Safari in benchmarks alone; while the Chrome M99 also set a speed record of 300 points in a benchmark created by the Apple WebKit team . Google notes that it tested it on a 14-inch MacBook Pro with a 10-core M1 Max chip and 64 GB of RAM, and then repeated the test on a 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM.

Chrome ran 252 times per minute, plus or minus 8.6, while Safari had 185, plus or minus 46. There’s about a 30% difference on average, but there’s also a lot of variability in Safari.

Google Play product manager Lidia Gaymond announced that Google has developed a feature called “App Archiving” for the Android operating system, which is designed to solve the problem of insufficient 64GB storage space. When you use App Archiving, you can release up to 60% of the storage space, and this function will not uninstall the application, nor delete the user’s personal data, but by deleting some functional components of the application, and These functional components are archived in order to achieve the purpose of “slimming” the mobile phone . When the user uses these applications again, the Android system will restore the archived functions.

This is also a good news for friends who use small memory mobile phones. It is worth noting that Google has provided App Archiving to developers, which is expected to be open to consumers later, so you can look forward to it.

Apple, Microsoft, Google all fail: products cannot be repaired

You may know that some brands of equipment are easier to repair than others, but an influential publicity team may have just confirmed your guess. The Verge notes that the U.S. Public Interest Research Group has released a serviceability report card that assesses the ease of repair of devices (based in part on France’s repair scores) and companies’ overall stance on repairs across major laptop and phone brands. score. As you might guess, Apple, Google, and Microsoft are doing poorly, with a D-rated iPhone , and an F-rated — their historically sealed designs, lack of parts, and lobbying for right-to-repair legislation haven’t worked for them Win any score.

No company on the report received an A grade. However, there are some bright spots. Laptops from Acer, Asus, Dell, and Lenovo all received solid B grades for easier access to repair rights and fewer objections to repair rights, while Motorola was the only one to receive this for its relatively repairable phones. A mobile phone manufacturer of grades. HP and Samsung received C grades each.

PIRG’s goals are clear. As with its campaign to open up ventilator repairs, the interest group wants PC and mobile phone makers to incorporate repairability into their designs, after-sales services and politics. PIRG believes that products that are easier to repair can reduce e-waste and save money.

The tech industry is already evolving to some extent. Governments have stepped up pressure on IT companies to accept a “right to repair”, including a plan to enforce laws that support repairs. Some companies are already changing their stance, if in part to block potential legislation. Apple will start selling parts to customers this year, and Microsoft’s newer Surface devices are relatively simple to repair. PIRG’s influence may still help, but it’s not alone in pushing the tech world toward better maintainability.

Google Chrome 100 Beta Release: Marks the End of User-Agent Strings

Google Chrome and Firefox browsers are about to release version 100, and now Chrome 100 has reached the Beta channel.

In a Chromium blog post, Google wrote: “Chromium 100 will be the last version to support unreduced user agent strings by default (and related navigator.userAgent, navigator.appVersion and navigator.platform DOM APIs). Allows site testing to be fully The Origin Trial for the Reduced User-Agent will end on April 19, 2022. After that date, the User-Agent string will be gradually reduced”.

User-agent strings have been a core component of web browsers for decades, allowing websites to change their behavior based on the browser, browser version, CPU architecture, and other data . Browsers have slowly started to limit the information in user agent strings (eg, all iPhone user agent strings do not include the iPhone model) because they are easily used for fingerprinting. Google recommends using the newer User-Agent Client Prompt API instead, which is more secure than user-agent strings and less likely to break websites.

Chrome Beta 100 also includes some other new features. On desktop platforms there is a new multi-screen window placement API that allows websites to detect the monitor connected to the user’s computer and place different windows on specific screens. There’s also Origin Trials for the Digital Goods API and some new JavaScript features (basically opt-in testing of web features).

In other respects, Chrome 100 will also have new icons, the mobile version of Chrome 100 will remove the data-saving Lite mode, the Android version of Chrome 100 will introduce an optional confirmation dialog that closes all tabs at once, and provide a download information icon on the top taskbar Wait.

On all platforms, Chrome Beta supports running with other versions of the Chrome browser.
