Browser performance overview
where Futuremark, famous for its metering programs, will be the focal point.
It is no longer new that several developers are declaring at the same time: they own the title of the world’s fastest web browser. Futuremark as an outside observer, the Peacekeeper through trying to do justice to this position. The series of measurements mainly covers HTML and JavaScript functions. The programmers repeatedly stressed that they did not want to create a standard synthetic measurement program, but a free test page that assesses the needs of the most visited sites (Youtube, Twitter Facebook).
A hardware information has now examined the most popular browsers, and the results can be seen here:
