Google flexes Chrome's javascript muscle with Chrome Experiments


There's been a lot of browser one-upmanship since the debut of Chrome, particularly on the javascript performance front. Chrome still manages first place overall on my own systems, though the Firefox and Safari betas are both right on its tail.

Not happy with boring old charts and graphs, Google thinks you should take a look at some Chrome Experiments - a series of javascript concoctions that really show off how well the V8 engine can perform.

On the experiments I played with, Chrome outperformed all the other browsers - including Safari 4, albeit marginally. Chrome didn't show a hint of the stutter or slowness that I noticed in Firefox, Opera, and IE. Safari 4 performed nearly as well, suffering only the odd visual hiccup.

Google Gravity and Ball Pool, are interesting physics demos - for some gaming fun, check out Twitch or DOMTris. Share your favorites in the comments, and let us know how they run in your other browsers!
