Google made a hit hard sort of statement during the official unveiling of Fryo – the next Android update dubbed version v2.2. Google claimed to have made the World’s fastest Internet browser available on mobile devices. Google has implemented the V8 JavaScript engine (which you may have heard of from Google Chrome fame) and JS in Froyo appears to be running somewhere in the region of 100% – 200% faster than JS in previous incarnations of Android, which is pretty impressive if we go by Google’s mouth.
One thing that we know for sure – Chrome is really faster on desktops, when compared with other offerings such as IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari. The V8 engine renders Java Scripts faster which aids in faster navigation of sites loaded with Java applets such as Facebook, Flickr and others.
