Chrome, Google’s web browser, has just been released in version 103 which, thanks to a pre-rendering mechanism, loads Internet pages more quickly.
Chrome returns to its pre-rendering mechanism to load web pages faster. Already in effect on Chrome 17 (launched in 2012), this mechanism allows the browser to start loading a page in the background if the URL entered corresponds to a site likely to be consulted.
However, Google teams had abandoned this process in favor of NoState Prefetch in 2018. This mechanism was intended to be more secure, but did not really offer significant performance advantages.
Thanks to Chrome 103 and its dusting off of the pre-rendering mechanism, the loading time of Internet pages promises to be considerably reduced. In any case, this is the promise made by Google.
Logically, switching your browser to the new version of Chrome should happen automatically. If not, just press the Help and then About Chrome buttons to “force” your browser to update. While waiting for Chrome 104 which will arrive on August 2, here is some news that should delight regulars.
