Safari 4 dominates browser benchmark


ZDnet has tested out 7 leading browsers using SunSpider (a suite of JavaScript test) to measure which browser is the quickest. I guess the Safari 4 took the first place beating the other 6 browsers. That is surprising as I thought Google Chrome is the quickest.

Out of curiosity, I took the benchmark test for Safari browser on Mac OS X using the same SunSpider benchmarking tool. Surprisingly, my result is much faster (576.2ms) compared to ZDNet result (967ms). Maybe the internet connection speed has affect on the final result.

Regular Joe might say that why bother taking such benchmarking test? Browser is just browser. Well, the modern web application is heavily loaded with Javascript for various purposes (AJAX, rating, behind the scene things). So using a browser with faster Javascript execution time might come handy. Of course this is not applied to me as I use 5 different browsers in daily basis. For me each browser has their own pros,  cons and some set of tools to complete my daily job. Hunters uses different bullet and weapon to hunt different kind preys don't they?

Safari was one of the twelve browsers offered to EU users of Microsoft Windows in 2010. It is also one of the five browsers displayed on the first page of browser choices along with Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera.

Safari 4 is built on the world’s most advanced browser technologies including the new Nitro JavaScript engine that executes JavaScript up to 30 times faster than IE 7 and more than three times faster than Firefox 3. Safari quickly loads HTML web pages three times faster than IE 7 and almost three times faster than Firefox 3.

One of the biggest difference between Firefox and IE against Safari is the font rendering engine, as critics pointed out earlier, it is unlike for Safari to gain any new converts from Firefox and IE due to their way Safari handles font rendering.

Great share! This is very informative. Browsers really have its own features and usage. But for me, I still prefer using Firefox. It is very handy and easier to navigate.
