Browser Test: Chrome 15 vs Firefox 7 vs Internet Explorer 9 vs Opera 11.52 vs Safari 5.1

2011-10-27
today I'm here with the next in my series of browser tests this time going over chrome 15 Firefox 7 Internet Explorer 9 opera 11.5 and Safari 5.1 before we begin let me explain LeWitt about my testing procedure all browsers are fully updates or the latest non-beta release and all were tested multiple times with no additional options enabled such as hardware acceleration each test was run multiple time on the same Windows 7 computer the first test is peacekeeper this is a great overall benchmark of browser performance and one of my personal favorites for testing browsers as usual opera does very well here with Chrome right behind it and the rest of the pack falling behind next up we have the dromio javascript suite this is a good indicator of how well a browser handles sites such as Gmail chrome dominates this test with Firefox and the others quite far behind moving on is the particle acceleration demo which helps determine how well browser handles graphically intense html5 work Firefox and Internet Explorer flattened everything else on paper however I will note that I got a smooth 60 frames per second on all the browsers except Safari next is the html5 test as the name suggests this measures how well each browser adheres to the latest web standards here chrome does the best however all of the browsers with the exception of Internet Explorer do a very good job lastly we have the memory test each browser was loaded up with these same five tabs containing popular sites such as Hulu and I measured the memory usage very surprisingly Safari went from being the worst by far last time to easily winning this one opera and Firefox do quite well within Explorer and chrome being much more memory hungry as it's been for the past year or so all five of these browsers are competent to the point where the numbers don't matter as much as the individual features you might need however there are some clear winners this time it's a tie between the excellent new Firefox 7 and the standby chrome 15 if you enjoyed this video be sure to leave a like rating and if you're interested in more browser tests then be sure to subscribe
