What’s the world’s fastest browser?
Oh sure, the following tests aren’t as scientific as putting all the browsers in a ring and seeing which one is left standing after the fight, but it’s close.
If you want seriously hardcore Web standards benchmarking, throw your browser through the Acid2 test, which is really what it’s all about. But here, we’re looking for speed, and for this there’s nothing better than Scragz’ quick and dirty browser rendering benchmark. So, onto the results!
First, a baseline under Windows:
(32-bit) Internet Explorer 6: 3.76 seconds
(32-bit) 1.5.0.6 Firefox: 5.03
(32-bit) 9.01 Opera: 4.89
Well there’s a nice surprise! Even the aging IE6 bundled with Windows XP is a fair bit faster at the testpage than Firefox and Opera.
