hey guys this is Austin so we all spend a lot of time on the internet on our phones which browser should you be using to test I use two of the most powerful phones out the iPhone 5s along with the HTC One m8 on the iPhone the default browser is Safari where on Android the most common choice is chrome both browsers are solid however there are a lot of other options worth checking out Opera Coast is hands-down the most unique browser I've ever used it has a super clean UI that rolls the normal address bar and surged into one seamless package Chrome for iPhone on the other hand is essentially the same browser as you'll find on Android allowing you to do things like syncing settings from a computer move over to Android and we have opera here we're looking at a much more conventional browser compared to coast with features like off-road mode to help you conserve data when you're off Wi-Fi another solid option on Android is Firefox one of the best features are the add-ons which aren't something you typically see on mobile there are plenty of reasons why you might want to use any of these browsers but what I want to know is which one is the fastest to start with we have the peacekeeper benchmark one of my favorites as it tests a wide variety of a browser's performance on Android Chrome and opera are very close where Firefox comes in just a little way behind jump over to the iPhone and you'll see there's no competition so far I distances itself from chrome and coast since Apple forces other apps to use a slower engine for JavaScript performance on more complex sites we've got the octane test on Android again opera and chrome essentially tie with Firefox coming in just behind on the iPhone however Safari absolutely destroys the others entirely thanks to the nitro engine another JavaScript test is SunSpider and here we see things change up a bit Firefox on Android pulls out the win with Chrome and opera coming up right behind on the iOS front it's the same story as Safari crushes the benchmark over twice as quickly as toast where Chrome wouldn't even complete it properly jump over to the html5 test which is essentially how well each browser supports the rule book of the Internet and you'll see chrome opera and Firefox on Android do well we're all three iOS browsers come in farther back I know I open my several times a day so next I tested how long each app takes to load all six did well with Firefox and coast taking the win and operon Android being the slowest even though it only took a second and a half if you use an iPhone right now Safari is the obvious choice however once iOS 8 comes out all apps will be able to use the exact same nitro engine that Safari does meaning performance should be identical on the Android side though it's a little more complicated for a pure performance chrome is the best choice however both Firefox and opera aren't too far behind and they each have features that might push you over the edge so which browser do you use definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below also I got to do something really cool recently so I worked with Chris Pirillo to create an actual ad for the Lenovo yoga tablet if you guys haven't seen it yet it's actually a pretty cool design the tablet itself is super thin with a battery cylinder on the bottom they give solid longevity and also houses a built-in metal kickstand it's also got an 8 inch screen with good viewing angles and front-facing stereo speakers the yoga 8 is a really interesting unique tablet especially considering the price if you guys want to be awesome go check out the full ad over on Lenovo's channel which I'll have linked in the description we definitely did things a little differently anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
