We already knew the Google Chrome browser was fast as lightning, but now Google gives us graphic proof. Along the way, it demonstrates a lot of other Rube Goldbergian occurrences that it can beat, too. Great idea, Google — show us how your new Chrome 5.0 browser loads at 2,700 frames per second. Yeah, that's fast.

Not only is the latest beta of its Chrome 5.0 browser one-third faster than the previous release, it has Flash built in, eliminating the need for downloading the plug-in. It even tops that, letting you synchronize not just bookmarks, but now browser preferences, too. Add that to Chrome's growing list of excellent and time-saving plug-ins, and you have the best browser on the planet.

Wow. Our favorite browser just got even better. Take a look at how Google made this brilliant video:
