Browser Benchmark Chrome / Firefox 9 / Palemoon 8 x64 / Safari / Internet Explorer x64 / Opera / Maxthon

 

This is my first benchmark between all of these browsers. I used my laptop which is a Intel Core Duo T6400 with 4gb RAM on Windows 7 0x64, no biggie, but gets the job done.

I used the latest versions of the browsers above and used PeaceKeeper v2 as a benchmark tool. The testes in this benchmark are here in the section “What are the individual tests”.

The browsers tested as said above are the latest versions of:

  • Google Chrome
  • Firefox 9
  • Palemoon x64 (which is a x64 version based on Firefox 8)
  • Safari 5.1.2
  • Internet Explorer x64 (fully updated)
  • Opera 11.60
  • Maxthon 3

I installed them all, installed Java and flash so they all don’t miss out a plugin to run on the tests and… well, here it is.

Region1

Okay, that was expected, it’s nothing un-expected that Chrome is way ahead, but what’s more interesting, is having Internet Explorer falling in the end, even Firefox 32 bit performed faster than Palemoon, which is a 64 bit version of Firefox 8 and says that it performs faster than FF x86. Maybe they were talking about performance in the local machine, like browser response, opening, etc…

I honestly expected more from Firefox, even Safari 9.0.1 is ahead of it. The results I might say (not including Chrome) were a bit of a surprise.

Now let’s have a deeper look at the individual testing of each browser, and how it performed.

#1 – Google Chrome

#2 – Maxthon (based on Google Chrome) – I expected a good result on this one, basically because it’s based on Chrome, so the results couldn’t be too far apart.

Well, this is it, I should warn this is a long post. Like I said, I expected more from Firefox and Internet Explorer. But hey, try it yourself, you may have different results on your machine and maybe you’ll end up with different results then me :)
