Angry birds has come to chrome

Announced at the Google I/O Conference in San Francisco, the new browser-based version of Angry Birds is a testament to how far Google’s Chrome browser has come in a short time. According to Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior vice president of Chrome, Angry Birds in a web browser wouldn’t have been possible a year ago. With a graphics rendering speed ten-times-faster than earlier versions, today’s Chrome can make it happen.

As can, incidentally, today’s version of Safari. Today’s version of Firefox, on the other hand, was a bust. No one uses Internet Explorer anymore, so we didn’t even bother.

The free version of Angry Birds features the game’s first level, Poached Eggs, along with a set of exclusive Chrome-themed levels. You can install it now via the Chrome Web Store. It runs rather nicely, and as an added bonus, remains cached for offline play.
