Google has shifted the JavaScript engine that powers its Chrome web browser into a higher gear.
The company announced on Thursday that an update to Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, combined with a new version of the Webkit browser engine, should improve the loading speed of JavaScript-heavy web pages by up to 30 per cent. The updates will be automatically downloaded to existing copies of Chrome.
JavaScript engines are one of the new fronts in the browser wars, with various vendors touting the performance of their browsers this year in hopes of unseating the competition.
Google has also announced a few other changes to Chrome, including the addition of new features that let you erase embarrassing websites from the most-visited list that appears when you open a new tab in Chrome. Chrome also now has a feature found in many browsers: form autofill.
