hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with the test to see exactly which browser you should be using for this one I test it on both Windows and Mac on the PC side I used a mid-range system with a core i3 eight gigabytes of RAM and a 250 gigabyte SSD for the Mac I used a 2013 MacBook Air with a core i7 eight gigs of ram and a 128 gig solid-state drive to kick the tests off we have peacekeeper which is one of my favorites as it tests a wide range of things from speed to compatibility on the windows side both Chrome and opera do very well which makes sense as they're closely related under the hood Internet Explorer and Firefox are quite a bit behind here though switch over to Mac and you'll see things are closer as Opera and Chrome swap places and Safari puts in a decent showing next up we have octane which sets aside all the other stuff and focuses on how fast each browser is shockingly enough again Chrome and opera put in very good showings on Windows Firefox does a lot better here and the latest version of Internet Explorer is lagging behind on Mavericks is starting to become clear that opera is ever so slightly quicker than chrome with the others a little ways back moving on let's take a look at the html5 test which is essentially how each browser handles the rule book of the Internet here we can compare browsers across Windows and OS 10 where Chrome and opera do very well yet again interestingly the built-in Safari and Internet Explorer both fall quite a bit behind browser scope is the next test and it takes a look exactly how secure or not each browser is again we can check both Windows and Mac results here and opera takes the win for blocking the most threats with Firefox trailing a little way behind the rest ons are you open and close your browser a few times a day so for this next test I took a look at how long each browser takes to load and then open up the Google home page here we see Internet Explorer take a pretty substantial lead on Windows partially thanks to it being built-in and always hiding in the background Firefox Chrome and opera are all a little ways behind jump over to Mac and the results are very very close with chrome taking a slight lead but all four load within a half second of each other thanks to the SSD the less memory of Oh grant eats up the better especially if you have a slower computer so this next test measures how well each browser handles seven tabs open on Windows 8.1 there's a major difference with Firefox taking up less than half the memory of Internet Explorer opera distances itself a bit from chrome here as well likely thanks to a more stripped-down build of chromium jump over to using a Mac and things are much closer with Safari and chrome winning out but by a fairly small margin while there are lots of personal reasons for choosing a web browser if you're on Windows the best overall choice is Chrome now if you're on a Mac it's a little harder to nail down as both opera and chrome are fantastic choices so it really comes down to whichever one you prefer speaking of what web browser are you using right now definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below or over on Twitter because I'm basically over there 24/7 so yeah that's the thing anyway guys thank you so much for watching if you enjoyed it and you want to see more videos like this absolutely be sure to subscribe to the channel and I will catch you guys in the next one
