Chrome and Seo

Over the last few weeks I have been testing Google’s new browser chrome and I have to say I am impressed. The new home page with icons of your most visited sites is very useful and being an seo consultant, the ability to search Google within the address bar is very useful. All of this aside the thing that interests me and probably a lot of other people out there is which browser is fastest?

We look after quite a few sites at Alivewalls and always have to have various browsers installed to check each site. I currently have Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari and run them all under Vista and XP. After using Google Chrome for a few weeks for our Seo functions and after a bit of un-scientific research I can confirm that it appears to be the fastest browser out there. Even compared to Safari it appears faster especially with Javascript (Google’s applications and services use a lot of Javascript). 

Chrome however does not like certain sites (the .net based Recruitment Software application we use in house is much happier in IE and so is DotNetNuke.
