Google has released a new incarnation of its Chrome browser, adding the revamped Crankshaft JavaScript engine and removing support for the royalty-encumbered H.264 video codec.
This is Chrome 10, if you're keeping track of version numbers. Google wishes you didn't. When releasing a new browser, Mountain View doesn't mention version numbers, preferring to paint Chrome as one monolithic, ever-evolving piece of software. The company is now releasing a new version every six weeks or so. The last version [Shhh. Chrome 9.—Ed] arrived on February 4.
Google first revealed its Crankshaft JavaScript engine in December, claiming it was roughly 50 per cent faster on the company's own V8 benchmark suite. Three weeks ago, it was rolled into the Chrome 10 beta, and now, with the stable release, Google is boasting a 66 per cent speed improvement.

"Friends don't let friends use Internet Explorer 6." A quote from any random web developer over the past ten years? Nope, that's from Microsoft itself, and it's featured on the Internet Explorer 6 Countdown site that the company just launched today. As you can see above, the site also includes statistics on IE6 use around the world (China is apparently the biggest offender by a wide margin), as well as information about how you can "join the cause" and educate others about the perils of using such a horrible, outdated web browser.
