Chrome should be a lot faster

Chrome and Firefox are said to be faster, a truck full of Apple merchandise worth millions has been stolen, and Bitcoin is worth over $ 18,000. It’s in the digital news of the day.

Google has released version 87 of its Chrome browser, the latest update slated for 2020. Google promises the biggest speed boost here “in years”. The CPU load is reduced by a factor of 5 and the battery is less stressed. Chrome launching should now be 25% faster.

In addition, a search function is now available for cards, for users who have a large number of them. At the same time, the first version of Chrome optimized for Apple’s silicon chip was launched. The browser on the new Macs released yesterday with M1 chips from Apple’s in-house development should therefore work much faster.

Firefox 83 released

Competitor Mozilla has also released a new version of its Firefox browser. There should be performance improvements here too, particularly JavaScript should now run 15% faster. There is also a new “HTTPS Only” mode that completely blocks access to websites that do not offer encryption.

A truck full of Apple products stolen

A truck carrying Apple goods worth 5 million pounds (6 million Swiss francs) was stolen in the English county of Northamptonshire. The perpetrators overwhelmed the drivers and a security guard and later left the truck trailer empty in a nearby county. The act took place on November 10, the police are now looking for witnesses.

Bitcoin over $ 18,000

Bitcoin cryptocurrency reached a new three-year high. On Wednesday morning it rose to a value of over $ 18,000. Bitcoin is therefore getting closer and closer to the all-time high of December 2017, when the currency was worth nearly $ 20,000 for a short time.
