Google Chrome is about to get much faster

Google announced that it will begin to roll out an update to Chrome that will make your browser speeds much faster.

The update contains a new data compression algorithm called Brotli, which Google first unveiled in September. It squishes the size of a website down by 26% more than Chrome's previous compression tool, Zopfli.

Like Zopfli, the new algorithm is named after a Swiss baked good. (Brötli means 'small bread' in Swiss German.)

In a Google+ post, Google engineer Ilya Grigorik announced that Brotli will be coming to Chrome soon, likely in the browser's next major update.
