A slightly-updated Chrome icon is also in the works, which will look a bit different on each platform to fit in with the operating system's design language. Google added a 'Journeys' feature for sorting the browser history in February, which arrived at the same time as Material You-themed widgets on Chrome for Android.

The Chrome browser has seen many other changes over the past few months. That's mainly helpful for web applications that manipulate images and video, as well as sites with 3D-rendered elements, such as Google Earth. Google also says Chrome's graphics performance is now roughly 15% faster than Apple Safari, thanks to the above-mentioned ThinLTO improvements and additional decoders. Google is using Speedometer 2.0 for these results, which was developed by the WebKit (Safari) team at Apple, and recreates common web application tasks in a variety of popular frameworks. It is based on the QtWebEngine rendering engine and features all the standard functions offered by modern browsers. Falkon is another lightweight web browser available on both Windows and Linux platforms. Benchmarks aren't everything, though - Google required the old Octane JavaScript benchmark in 2017, due to web browsers optimizing their code to achieve higher Octane results at the cost of real-world performance. However, it is not available on the Linux and macOS platforms. Since most of the engine code in Chrome trickles down to browsers based on Chromium, such as Microsoft Edge and Vivaldi, other browsers should receive these same improvements once they update their codebases.
