Another Javascript Speed Test for Web browsers

By rom


With new web browsers available, I figured that it may be a good idea to see how they perform using a common benchmark.

Javascript Benchmark (in seconds)
Browser Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 Test 5 Test 6 Test 7
Safari 0.703 0.415 0.375 0.516 0.138 1.428 0.155
Firefox 2.0 1.337 2.476 2.924 0.631 0.178 1.936 0.553
Camino 1.1a1 1.661 0.313 0.706 0.902 0.154 1.772 0.565
Flock 0.7.7Nightly 1.282 5.537 0.602 0.658 0.183 2.131 0.711

I intentionally did not include Internet Exploder 7 because [1] it is not available on the Mac and [2] even if it is, I refuse to use it. :)

I have Safari set as default but I also use Firefox 2.0 and Camino 1.1a1 because Safari does not support the online editor used by WordPress. It is a good thing that my online banks such as Citibank and BPI Express Online are now supported by all four browsers (including Flock) unlike PNB’s Internet Banking, which, like the rest of the “bureaucrazy“, only supports IE.

I like Flock, if only it is as fast and as stable as Safari and Camino with the flexibility of Firefox 2.0!

    [...] I have been using Safari and Camino after the benchmark I did. Today, I figured that it might be more interesting to add another WebKit-based web browser, Shiira and one of the fastest free web browser in the market today, Opera. Flock 0.7.7 was just released so I added it to complete the table. I wish that OmniWeb is free so I can add it to my possible candidate for every day web browsing (maybe Omnigroup will give me a free license, who knows?). [...]
