hey guys 15 he was the next in my series of browser tests today taking a look at chrome 12 Firefox 5 Internet Explorer 9 offer 11.50 in Safari 5 before we begin let me explain a bit about my testing procedure all browsers are fully updated to the latest non-beta release and all were tested using a fresh install with no additional options enabled such as hardware acceleration each test was run multiple times on the same Windows 7 computer the first test the v8 benchmark a JavaScript test made by Google this is a good indicator of overall JavaScript performance for websites such as Gmail here you'll see that chrome dominates the competition with opera and Firefox following out behind next we have the Peacekeeper benchmark which is a great overall test of browser performance and one of the most influential tests of all here opera pulls out a narrow lead over chrome with the rest of the browser's considerably farther back getting away from pure speed and into memory testing each browser was loaded with multiple tabs open here you'll see Firefox takes his typical lead with opera and Internet Explorer a bit behind with html5 becoming a growing part of the online ecosystem the html5 test measures how well each browser supports the latest web standards chrome takes a solid lead here however all browsers with the exception of Internet Explorer do a great job lastly we have the html5 fishbowl this test focuses on how well each browser taps into the GPU of your computer meaning native hardware acceleration is a big factor internet explorer aces the test with the perfect 60 frames per second and Firefox does a respectable job while the others fall flat unlike previous tests there is no overwhelming winner at this time each browser with the exception of Safari had at least one area where it did a great job however if I had to pick just one it would be chrome opera impressed me thoroughly with its performance and excellent interface Internet Explorer remains one of the best-looking browsers I've ever seen in Firefox 5 remains a great go-to choice however all things considered today chrome remains the winner
