These speed tests were filmed at actual web page rendering times. If you’re interested in the technical details, read on!
Equipment used:
– Computer: MacBook Pro laptop with Windows installed
– Monitor – 24″ Asus: We had to replace the standard fluorescent backlight with very large tungsten fixtures to funnel in more light to capture the screen. In addition, we flipped the monitor 180 degrees to eliminate a shadow from the driver board and set the system preferences on the computer to rotate 180 degrees. No special software was used in this process.
– Camera: Phantom v640 High Speed Camera at 1920 x 1080, films up to 2700 fps
“Why does allrecipes.com in the potato gun sequence appear at once, and not the text first and images second? And why does it appear to render from bottom of the screen to the top?”
Chrome sends the rendered page to the video card buffer all at once, which is why allrecipes.com appears at once, and not with the text first and images second. Chrome actually paints the page from top to bottom, but to eliminate a shadow from the driver board, we had to flip the monitor upside down and set the system preferences in Windows to rotate everything 180 degrees, resulting in the page appearing to render from bottom to top.
“Why does the top one third of the page appear first on the weather.com page load?”
Sometimes only half the buffer gets filled before the video card sends its buffer over to the LCD panel. This is because Chrome on Windows uses GDI to draw, which does not do v-sync.
“The screen wipes are so smooth – how was that achieved?”
The screen wipes up in a gradated wipe because LCD pixels take around 10ms to flip and gradually change color.
More filming details below:
Chrome Browser vs. Potato:
We used a version of the web page allrecipes.com that is accessible when logged in. About four hours into the Potato Gun shoot we decided to use a locally loaded version of the web page to enable more precise synchronization with the potato gun. We finally got the shot we were hoping for after 51 takes.
Chrome Browser vs. Sound:
We loaded an artist page from Pandora.com, a streaming internet radio service directly off the web on a 15Mbps internet connection.
Chrome Browser vs. Lightning:
We used a locally loaded version of weather.com that was legally approved for use in this video (and all the standard website permissions procedures that goes into making videos!)
While we had a super fast 15Mbps internet connection in the studio, any live internet connection introduces quite a bit of variability. To run speed tests on page rendering times, saving locally and loading from the local disk can help reduce this variability.

32GB of RAM and Chrome alone hogs up over 80% of it. After restart… 6%, same content.
This is still masterpiece
Back then, I thought using Google Chrome would help speed up my 5mbps internet. And I thought it did, by a slight bit. Lol.
This video is posted on my born year!
more interesting 2022?
2022
Muszę mieć chrome za wszelką cenę
Back when 15Mbps was considered fast.
Fun fact. 8Mb is equal to 1MB. 8 bits makes a byte.
I don't use Google Chrome. I just find these wordless commercials somewhat relaxing. I come back here every few months just to enjoy two minutes of almost uninterrupted silence.
Why don’t they make commercials like this today, man?
I remember i watch this when I was 3 now I'm 13 I laugh at 1:58
Oddly satisfying video that calms you down but it's in Google chrome.

0:47 It is local file on computer, not the website.
This video made me use google chrome 11 years ago. I remember how it was the talk of the town.
RAM like it's too big 😂
nice
2020 anyone?
Remember when people got excited about stuff Google released?
It'd be all over Google Buzz and Google Plus and Google Reader and Google Wave and Google Glass and Google Answers….
oh.
10 years later… Ads everywhere
after 10 years here i am again

What's Pandora? 😛
2010: Google Chrome vs sound waves.
2020: Google Chrome vs 1TB of RAM.
Videos that don't aging well
Hey guys, I am using this for a school presentation and I need some help, can I call this metaphor cause google chrome use the experiments to bring out the fact that their search engine is the best? If not, is there any terms for these kind of things?
Pale Moon and Firefox doesn't eat up a lot of memory.

Ah. But HTML 5 was not a thing dear people.
Idk what is satisfying: The experiments or chrome? What do you think?
