Google has made Chrome 6 almost 17% faster than the previous version, Chrome 5.

“The last couple of years we’ve been focused on speed,” said Brian Rakowski, Chrome’s director of product management. “A lot of things have changed in the last two years (in browsers), but the one thing we’ve learned is that speed matters. It’s something Google’s always believed in and it resonates with people.”

Chrome 6, which Google released a few days ago, also included patches for 16 vulnerabilities and another attempt at fixing a Windows kernel bug that affected the browser.
