today I'll be testing the five major browsers Google Chrome 10 Mozilla Firefox 4 Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 opera 11 and Apple Safari 5 to see which is the fastest available before we begin let me explain a bit about how I test all five browsers are on their latest non-beta release with the exception of firefox 4 where i use the release candidate all the browsers are tested using a fresh install with no additional options enabled such as hardware acceleration each test was run multiple times on the exact same Windows 7 computer the first test Iran was the j/s benchmark which is a good overall test of JavaScript speed here you can see that chrome is considerably faster than the rest of the browsers due to the new crankshaft compiler however what's more impressive is the fact that all browsers did really quite well a far cry from the mismatched results I found in the past next is the v8 benchmark google's own javascript test here i found very similar results with chrome delivering much better performance than the rest although again opera and Firefox put up very solid performance as well now we have the SunSpider benchmark and here the results change quite a bit Internet Explorer 9 shows huge gains beating out chrome opera and Firefox by a short margin getting out of pure JavaScript tests now we have the Peacekeeper benchmark a great overall test of general browser performance here chrome and opera do very well with any Explorer Firefox and Safari falling behind now we have the flying images test from the Internet Explorer 9 test suite this test is largely based on how well the browser taps into your GPU to display 100 spinning images both Internet Explorer and Firefox get a perfect 60 frames per second while chrome and opera to get a much lower 20 and 22 frames Safari which likes any hardware acceleration to speak of gets a meagre two frames lastly we have the html5 test which evaluates how well each browser adheres to the latest web standard chrome does the best here however Firefox Opera and Safari also do well so overall I was very impressed with all five browsers however the winner today is Google Chrome it remains the king of the hill and almost all speed tests has the best compliance with html5 and already has saw an optional hardware acceleration that likely will become standard soon something to keep in mind is that no longer are there only one or two standout browsers as all fire are quite fast html5 compliant and have their own unique features so it really is hard to go wrong no matter what camp you're in be sure to subscribe to my channel for more videos or feel free to check out the links on screen right now for my latest content
