Benchmarks: Google Chrome
Published: 04 Sep 2008
The requirements of a web browser have changed over the years. As well as displaying text and images, a modern browser must execute applications such as JavaScript, DOM and XML-based AJAX programs. Even those who have never heard of AJAX should be familiar with applications such as Google Maps, Google Mail and AJAX Write, or web sites like Flickr and Last.fm, that make heavy use of these technologies.
AJAX has also taken root in the business environment: 24SevenOneOffice is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution that runs in a normal web browser. The advantage of this Web 2.0 technology is platform independence: neither a specific operating system nor a particular processor is required to run AJAX applications — all that's required is a compatible browser.
