hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with the browser test so question I get asked all the time is what's the best web browser considering how many choices are out there it definitely makes sense to find the best especially considering how much time everyone spends checking email going on Facebook YouTube all that kind of stuff every single day so today I'm going to be comparing four of the best so I'm going to be taking a look at Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Opera as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer to see which one is going to be the best of the best to test I used a mid-range PC with an AMD FX 4300 quad-core processor a gigabytes of RAM and a Radeon 6850 graphics card running Windows 8 to start with we're using the peacekeeper benchmark which is a fantastic overall test of a browser's performance now this tests quite a few things about the browsers so for example how fast they are rendering JavaScript how will they handle various different web standards and all kinds of funky stuff that you guys probably don't care about Google Chrome clearly wins this one with a score well above the rest of the competition opera does fairly well as does Firefox Internet Explorer however especially when you consider JavaScript chrome is really second to none next step we have the html5 test which measures how well each browser adheres to the latest web standards the way to think of HTML is kind of like the rule book for the Internet as basically every single web page uses it so this kind of tells you how well each browser will be able to support some of the really cool things you'll find all over the Internet here again chrome does very well coming up on a perfect 500 score both opera and Firefox also do very well here and even Internet Explorer 10 which does come in a distant last still supports a vast majority of html5 that you'll find on the Internet moving on we have the html5 fishbowl which measures how well each browser supports GPU acceleration as more and more the internet moves away from flash for all kinds of cool things it's definitely important to see how all of these browsers support cool things such as games even while rendering 2,000 fish at one time Firefox easily aced this one with a perfect score of 60 frames per second Internet Explorer 10 also did very well as did Chrome however Opera felt way behind due to the fact that the GPU acceleration really didn't seem to be working well with this test now it's time to see exactly how fast all of these browsers load web pages so that's what I did I loaded up amazon.com each time in the browser's multiple times and averaged this course is exactly how fast they really are impressively opera was the fastest browser in this test followed up very closely by chrome as Internet Explorer and finally Firefox next up I took a look at the memory usage of each of the browsers with seven tabs open now this is especially important if you have a slower computer it's generally the more lightweight the browser is the better it will run Firefox is the clear winner here taking up much less memory than the other three internet explorer did alright however both opera and chrome took up much more memory to do the exact same thing than the others overall there are a few things to take away from this for starters all four browsers actually did really quite well so the days of having to immediately ditch Internet Explorer are mostly over as it's become a very competent browser Firefox also did well especially if you have a slower computer and opera did really well and most all tests didn't really win a whole lot it's still very fast browsers still a very good way to go however the winner for this one has to be Chrome as it was consistently one of the fastest browsers out there as long as you have a fairly decent computer to run it it should be a really solid choice I'm interested to know what browser are you guys using well I tried to go over as much as I could in this test of course there are other things that didn't go over for example extensions and all kinds of special features of the each browser has so definitely be sure to let me know what browser you guys use in the comments below if you're interested in more feel free to check out my last video where I went over the top five features of the brand new Playstation 4 if you enjoyed be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe anyway guys I will catch you next time you
