The browser will now be about 5% faster overall because of &#8220;smarter behind-the-scenes resource scheduling.&#8221; What this means is that the new scheduler will demote processes that don&#8217;t interfere with critical assets. Chrome is already pretty quick but it&#8217;s nice to see that Google isn&#8217;t sitting on its laurels.<\/p>\n<p>There are also plenty of bug and security fixes for the browser in this release. Google paid over $14,000 as bounty for the users who discovered the security holes.<\/p>\n<p>A more technical update to Chrome comes in the form of the Sync FileSystem API, which lets developers sync data across different clients using <a title=\"google drive\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/b\/google-drive\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Drive<\/a>. The Sync FileSystem API works in conjunction with the HTML5 File API and FileSystem API.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, there are some improvements to the spell checker, Omnibox rankings, and Omnibox predictions. This means your search queries in the Chrome Omnibar should show more relevant information with this release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE<\/strong>: Chrome 27 also brings the voice search function that Google showed off during its <a title=\"google i\/o 2013 recap\" href=\"http:\/\/features.en.softonic.com\/google-io-2013-recap\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I\/O conference<\/a> last week.
