Google says that the number of Chrome users has climbed to 120 million, growing significantly over the past year. Chrome's emphasis on speed was cited as one of the most significant factors driving its popularity. Performance will continue to be one of the defining priorities of Chrome development as Google works to make the browser a compelling application platform.

The next major version of Chrome will use an adaptive compiling technique that Google has codenamed Crankshaft to accelerate JavaScript performance. Google has also been focusing on WebGL, work that is progressing swiftly. During the presentation, Google showed several impressive WebGL demos, including a virtual 3D aquarium with sharks that shoot lasers out of their eyes. The availability of rich 3D functionality through native Web standards will be significant for enabling the next generation of browser-based games.
