hey guys jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here and i want to give you a demonstration of the just released google chrome official beta show you how fast it works compared to Firefox and Safari so before we get to any sort of speed test I want to show you the speed of my internet so you can tell if this is a relatively fast connection at least you can get a bit of perspective for how quickly or not quickly these pages load so here is the speed test relatively quick and I did this and firefox but the internet speed will be the internet speed so I'm going to go ahead and quit this and I'm going to open up and launch Chrome from a completely cold launch its only bit opened up one time before it's been completely quit no pages have been cashed in it whatsoever let's go ahead and open it up and it launched pretty quickly well go ahead and pick up TechnoBuffalo com did launch very quickly I had a previous version of a developer preview for for Chrome but you can see that it does launch it very quickly it's got the very typical chrome look with the tabs up top very minimal what's missing here is any sort of real bookmarks manage there's not that much that you can do other than just bookmarked pages that's one of the things that Google a said should be coming with another version of the beta so it definitely is one feature that's missing so let's compare speed wise now to firefox firefox takes much longer to load up chrome was almost instantaneous we'll try TechnoBuffalo calm as you're very informal test here this is of course already been cash on the page so let's close both these i'm not going to quit we're going to see how quickly they load again and we're going to low technobuffalo one more time now that they've both been stored in cash so open up firefox much quicker that time will open up chrome pretty close to instantaneous open up technobuffalo and we'll hit up TechnoBuffalo on firefox it's not a monster different speed why I certainly I've been on clock thanks to either just wanted to give you a quick shot of the speed I like to try safari and see how quickly that loads as well Safari takes a bit long to load from a a cold launch specially on my imac which is pretty powerful in 4 gigs ram nice relatively modern core 2 duo processor let's go ahead and load up technobuffalo calm so i'm not too bad i'm gonna try putting all three next to each other i'm going to refresh the page in order and we'll see if we can get a sense of any speed at all let's not can be at the same time certainly because of all these sizes again very informal testing here okay so we've got Firefox Safari and we have Chrome let's go ahead and do a refresh on all these and we'll see what looks like so i'll go chrome firefox and safari to see what the final order it is on try and go as fast as i can so they all loaded pretty quickly it looks like firefox actually still refreshing the page the other two loaded much faster so goes to show you firefox may be a bit of a lag in OS 10 but let's go back to back to chrome since that's the new one let's take a look at how it handles some video playback so we'll go to youtube certainly if you're watching this you obviously do a lot of YouTube viewing so go ahead and just sort of a pic so generic video place things just fine see we can find any sort of HD video and certainly HD playback is going to be a very pretty directly by your hardware but that does work pretty well if you've got a more low powered Mac an older Mac for example I think chrome is probably gonna be a pretty good option for you to get maximum speed matter if you're older processor if you're writing more a more modern machine you're probably not going to experience that big speed increases but if you just like something different a chrome really works quite well and it's a very quick browser I've only had it to the official beta for just a few hours but I was using to develop a preview for a while with a lot of use and it was pretty stable and reliable so you can go ahead and download this i will put a link in the sidebar if you want to go ahead and download the beta and if you want some more information on features and such I check out the other link in the sidebar to go to technobuffalo see you guys next video bye bye
