Google claims its browser, Chrome is the fastest ever in the history of the internet, Pakistan's international magizene @internet checked out if their claim is really true.....

Google claims that its Chorme browser is "many times faster" than other similar browsers.Apple claims that safari 4 beta was the world's fastest browser.Microsoft also recently started marketing internet explorer 8 with videos purporting to prove that it's faster than its rivals.

 Since they all can't be true with their claims,@internet undertook detailed real-world tests to determine how quickly each of the four browsers,the three mentioned above and Firefox 3.0 loaded a series of popular Websites.Google Chorme was clearly ahead.
