Summary
Chrome posted a 5% gain on Speedometer 3.1 and a 10% rise on Jetstream 3 from a year earlier, with Google calling it the browser’s fastest performance yet.
Google tied the gains to technical changes in Chrome and Chromium, including smarter JavaScript-engine execution, a leaner JavaScript-WebAssembly handoff, and text-engine optimizations that speed page rendering.
Tests were run on a MacBook Pro with an M5 chip running macOS 26.0.1, and Google said Chrome reached a Speedometer score of 61.
Unlike last year’s benchmark update, Google did not estimate user time saved; it had previously said Chrome optimizations saved 116 million hours across users.
