Browser JavaScript and DOM Benchmark Tests: Firefox, Minefield, Safari, Webkit, Chrome, Chromium and Opera 10.5
February 26, 2010|1 Min Read|Comments|
Today Opera has released its latest and greatest version of Opera browser 10.5 Beta for Mac. It features speed enhancement as well as a unified Cocoa interface. Just how speedy is it exactly? Let’s test it out against other major browsers.
The benchmarks were run on my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.6.2, 2.53GHz CPU, 4GB RAM). I have performed three benchmark tests from Dromaeo - All JavaScript Tests, DOM Core Tests and JavaScript Library Tests. The following browsers are used:
- Firefox 3.6
- Minefield (Latest Firefox Nightly)
- Safari 4.0.4
- WebKit Latest Nightly
- Chrome 5.0 Beta
- Chromium Latest Nightly
- Opera 10.5 Beta 1
The benchmark result (the higher the better):
Opera is smoking fast for pure JavaScript execution, on the other hand its DOM performance is significant lower than its competitors.
Very interesting result, hey? ;)
