Google Confirms Chrome GPU Acceleration 186

Posted by timothy
from the browser-as-taskmaster dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Google is already experimenting with GPU acceleration in its latest Chrome developer builds. Chrome 7 can separate different layers of a webpage into CPU and GPU processes and combine those layers using the GPU as long as the browser is now launched with certain switches. Chromium 7 has also a new Labs feature that reveals that Google is thinking about moving tabs from the top of the browser to the left side. It seems that Chrome will be catching up with Firefox 4 and IE9 in terms of hardware acceleration soon."

Comment: Germany still censored (Score 5, Interesting) 300

by Affenkopf (#30750016) Attached to: Google.cn Has Already Lifted Censorship
Meanwhile German Google is still censored (no youporn and a few other porn sites, no neo nazi sites).

I wish our government would do something to piss Google off so that we could have uncensored search results (to be fair: In Germany we can just switch from the censored google.de to the uncensored google.com)
