Google Chrome on Nexus 7 vs. Safari on iPad 3 Browser Speed Test

2012-08-16
how's it going guys david here from Pumbaa calm and in this video we're doing a speed comparison test between the google chrome browser found on the Nexus 7 and the Safari browser found on the third-generation iPad so I did clear out the browsing history on both devices and the both connected to the same Wi-Fi network actually did a fresh fruit on both devices as well so it's gonna be nice and fair I'm going to open up both browsers you can see that I am running no other applications in the background so again it could be as fair as possible now something to note i am leaving on the pre-loading feature for the google chrome browser on so you can see preload web pages is always on basically what that does is it loads up the website as I'm like typing it in and then when i hit go is gonna be like halfway loaded almost or maybe even fully loaded but the reason why I'm leaving it on in this case because in my other video comparing the two devices you know I left it off and a lot of you guys were complaining about you know saying thats that's an advantage of google chrome has by taking it away it's unfair I feel like it was unfair by leaving it on but nonetheless you know we're going to do this video anyway to see what the difference is now to make it a little bit fair though I'm gonna only type in about half the domains here first and then on the iPad and then for the other half on the type of first on the ipad and then on the nexus 7 so that way it isn't too much of a big advantage so well first website we'll go ahead and do foam ball calm so enter it on the next sem first all right one two three and as you can see the next seven is done loading and the ipad is still loading it and there you go the ipad is done let's go ahead and tap on an article really quick so that way we could you know test another web page now this one you know the pre-loading isn't going to be an advantage for the next seven because it doesn't know which article i'm going to actually tap on so we're going to tap on the apple removes youtube app from iOS 6 so one two three see the content first on the iPad followed by the Nexus 7 and both of them look to be done but you know if I have to give the witness one it's going to be the ipad be hesitant show the content first let's go ahead and tap on one more article and i will do the google voice search coming to the iphone and ipad soon so one two three and again load it up a little bit faster on the iPad you can see like the YouTube picture and everything was populated first compared to the Nexus 7 so far the 2i page is loaded faster on the iPad the actual homepage bloated faster in the next seven and that's mainly thanks to the pre-loading feature let's go ahead and go to another website will go to engadget one two three go so I saw the concept little faster on here but now we got the whole web page and it looks like it's fully loaded just about and the ipad still going and that now it's about done so let's go ahead and do a scroll test really quick so that way you know you can see how will look when you actually scroll down so i'm going to scroll down you know pretty fast on both devices and you see looks pretty good actually right now so i'll scroll up really fast on the ipad and i'll scroll up really fast on the Nexus 7 and so far so good usually you know from my past experience the nexus 7 does show a little bit of white screen while you're scrolling but in this case it's actually not so that's pretty good we'll go ahead and tap on the article will tap on this guy right over here so find a little read more icon two one two three content showed up first on the next seven and that was a really close one I saw the content first on here some of the advertisements and stuff populated first on here so you this could be the judge of that one I'm not gonna call it because I didn't really get a good look at it I have to rewatch it on video so let's go ahead and go to another website so now since I've done two websites pre-loading on here let's go ahead and type it first on the iPad and then followed by the nexus 7 so we'll do New York Times all right one two three go again most of the content populated first on the Nexus 7 so we have to give the winton nexus 7 there let's go ahead and tap on an article again so we'll do this one right over here 1 2 3 and contents populating first on here it's done now this guy's done so pretty much the theme you know even not right there because you know just counting one two three it was enough of an advantage for the pre-loading to actually make a difference in load up the web page faster so pretty you know it's pretty big advantage to have that p loading and it's it's a nice feature on say i do like it we'll go ahead and type in another website so will do will do LA times but this time i try to hit go right away so we'll go ahead and type it in on the ipad first alright so I hate go right away got the content first here followed over here and it's still loading as you guys can see on both got the advertisers populated and that that one looked like a finished just about the same time for the most part you know I saw the nexus 7 having a head start I know that the last second is caught up so again I'm not too sure but i think the win went to the next seven there i will go ahead and tap on an article will tap on this HBO netflix one two one two three content first here and this one's done and this one's finishing up and there you go it's done so for the most part you know seems like with the pre-loading feature enabled loading of websites is faster here even if i hit him at the same time so it's pretty impressive when i had the pre-loading feature off it was actually you know the opposite that the ipad with the safari browser was winning just what every time but now let's go ahead and do some benchmarks because those are real real world tests to see how the benchmarks look we'll go to browser mark on both devices alright so go ahead and run the benchmark on both devices at the same time and then I'll just kind of skip through the whole process so you guys can see the scores at the end alright so the browsing benchmark is done and you can see the nexus 7 scored a 130 2408 thanks to google chrome's optimizations and the iPads browser the Safari browser scored a 90 9898 so definitely a higher score for the Nexus 7 and honestly I'm not too surprised because I know the google chrome browser is really optimized i even you know use it I've compared the Google home browser on iOS to the Safari Browser on iOS and the google chrome browser actually beat it out so we'll go ahead and do another benchmark well let's do the html5 benchmark alright so I'm just going to the html5 test website and it'll just give us a score so 369 for browser compatibility and 324 for browser competitor compatibility on the Safari brothers so again from the benchmarks you know the Nexus browser the google chrome browser scored better and from some of the real world tests as long as we had that preloaded feature enabled it did score i did a you know load those home pages faster the actual articles and web page is loaded faster on the Safari browser but as far as the browser's go you don't have to say the better browser is the google chrome browser because i've not only tested it you know between these two but also on iOS itself between safari and google chrome and again i said google chrome actually out-performed it but you know hardware wise you can tell the renderings a little bit faster on the new ipad so you know you have to give a new ipad the edge there it seems a little bit more powerful you know this guy's a quad-core cpu but anyway that's pretty much it from in this video hopefully you know this you know answers the questions you guys had it you know as far as what difference does preloading make if you turn it off and on but anyway found this video helpful please hit
